Andy might survive, for the most part, but the team is in trouble. They don't have guys that can open holes. Defenses in our division, that already know this team, are going to capitalize.
This is what will hold this team back in '18 at a minimum. Too many Oline roster spots need serious upgrading, and there is neither the time nor the resources available to overcome this. It's going to be a fun watch for us this year, with our passing game along with our defense, the front four especially, Special teams look solid too. But when you can't budge the opponents front four, there goes not only yards and points but time of possession/ball control issues will also give the team fits. All else being equal, next year will be the soonest we can expect the kind of winner we've been hoping to see.
This year should be a good preview though. And that's a helluva lot better than what we've endured the past two seasons.
