Barring injuries, we should peak later in the season.
Getting the suspended guys back will help as has been mentioned, plus whatever Max gives us, but I'd argue it's the defensive rookies as a group that will look better later in the year. If it's not Hairston, it'll be Strong. If it's not Sanders, it'll be Walker. Cole Bishop should be better. We have depth and talent. Will coaching hold up deep in the playoffs? Lots of reasons to be dubious there but at least we're giving ourselves a chance on that side of the ball.
