You know, I am just not that worried about the offense. We had two key injuries last year in Travis Henry and Eric Moulds. Even with last year's patch - work line we we able to move the ball in the first two games. I believe we were moving it against the Fish when TH was hurt. But there wasn't much depth at RB, and that force us to need better receivers than we had. Then Eric goes down and the receiver corps gets worse.
This year, it seems to me the skill positions have more depth.
Also, the first team patch - work line did a pretty good job against the Titans first team D.
What I am worried about is the defense. There is a pretty good chance either Pat or Sam will go down. Without them, the defense is not the same. The same can be said for Fletcher, Spikes and Milloy. There is a huge dropoff in talent at those positions.
If the defense plays at the level it did a year ago, this team is no worse than 10-6 and may be better than that. But that is a very big if...
