Although I still have concerns at the RT position, LB Depth, and the general ability of our coaching staff, I still see a team that will not only make the playoffs, but make a run once they get there.
This team has a very tough front four with a lot of rotational pieces. Combine that with an excellent back end and you have a very capable defense. If Jordan Evans can be what I think he can and Vigil plays as I think he can, the defense will be very solid.
The offense certainly has the weapons. Will there be time to use them, or will everything be a hike-and-throw allowing defenses to really just focus on defending a small portion of the field? Will the running game be improved? I am giving Hart the benefit of the doubt, as a lot of RTs would struggle against that guy, but so much of this season rides on his ability to protect Dalton and Lazor's ability to use his weapons to create mismatches.
Special teams, often forgotten, will be very good.
I see this team as 11-5. I have faith the new schemes and rushing attack will help better balance the offense and the defense will keep opposing teams under 20 points.
