I'll agree on back. I'll agree on receiver.

Great line? No way. Not even average line.

Great defense? No. We had the worst defense in the NFL last year.

And it's not like we upgraded at LB unless you expect rookies to play like Pro Bowl players. Our strategy at LB is to hope for the best.

The only game we lost last year at full strength, was the Carolina game. They have been a problem for us recently, with Newton.

I agree that the line comment is an overreach, but this year we should be better.

Defense should be much better, solely because the offense will be better. The old adage that the best defense is a good offense, is true.

Last year, the defensive scheme put a lot of pressure on the back end guys. That worked when Lawson was healthy and you got some LB play. But it all went south after those injuries.

If Jefferson, Pratt, and Vigil step up and Brown and Lawson return healthy, the defense will be tough.

But everything depends on the OL!!!!!!
