Our secondary could be a concern also. Jackson is unknown. Dennard has been underwhelming. Kirkpatrick is above average to good. Jones seems to be on the decline. Iloka and Williams aren't known for coverage. Not saying they will be a huge weakness...but it's something to watch.
Most definately teams win in the trenches, the O-line is definately a concern and we all know it.
But... even here there are reasons for optimism. But i guess we will get a better idea tomorrow night against a good front.
I disagree on our Secondary being a concern. We were pretty tough to pass on last year with not much of a pass rush and
players like Peko, Hunt and Maualuga on the team. Billings, Lawson/Willis and Minter should be an upgrade IMHO.
We should be much better this year in both our pass rush and in our Secondary cause of it. Not to mention Shawn and George
having a year behind them gaining chemistry on the back end.
