Because we missed the playoffs by one game, lost many games by less than a touchdown, were beaten by the Chiefs, who were in the SB, by 1 point, we averaged about 27.5 points per game last year and I severely doubt we'll go into this year with the defense as injured as we did last year. Slayton will be better than Rankins, Jenkins and McKinley now have a year under their belt and are a year more mature so they should be better, and I liked the way they were playing at the end of the season. Dax Hill should be back. DJ Turner should be back, Cam Sample should be back. Logan Wilson had the surgery to clean out his knee. McPherson should be back to 100%. Hubbard was horrible last year playing injured and whoever replaces him will be an upgrade. You, and the entire board as you say, seem to forget how depleted the Defense was last year. We'll get new players in the draft and we have a new DC and new coaches. You can be pessimistic if you want, I choose to be optimistic.
