A pretty thoughtful analysis, if a little on the optimistic side, especially at fullback. However, that is better than the usual "chicken littles." Have to agree about Shaud. In the current NFL, the differences between the haves and have nots is just not that great, thanks to the cap. This team (with help from the draft and a few free agents) can be competitive. 2006 may not be a DEBACLE after all.
