Maybe you count that but Kris Jenkins had more starts than Rankins. Ford and Volson both started games last year on offense. Ossai started a few games at DE last year. Its the same group of guys on a team that went 9-8. I agree, this team still needs a lot more work before we talk Super Bowl caliber.
At least we didn't lose players, but yeah, it is basically the same roster with a new Defensive staff and a new OL coach. I do like the additions
of Slaton which is the type of DT we should of gotten last year instead of a 3-tech in Rankins, Oren Burks shown some great things late last
year for the Eagles. Perine is a damn good pass protector and adds physicality which we desperately needed.
Also we should expect players like Kris Jenkins, McKinnley Jackson, Cedric Johnson to improve from last season now that they got their feet
wet. We need a couple Guards though, this would be where we could improve the team the most.
