It Finally hit me!!

I like Vilma and Morgan a lot. IF they are healthy, it will tremendously improve our linebackers. That's exciting. But let's be reasonable in our hopes and expectations.

Linebackers aside (ad nauseum).

Grant and Smith were, at best, journeymen level DE's last year. Generated very little pass rush. Our DT's were marginal against the run and generated no inside push at all against the pass.

MM was great at one corner, but is coming off an ACL. David was lost, Craft is a career nickel/dime corner. Young, IMO, is an up-and-comer. He did get burned at times, but also showed a lot of promise. Safeties played pretty well against the run, but were suckers for the PA.

Offensively, it looks like status quo is the game plan. I just hope that they will give PT a real chance to get on the field regularly and I'm still hoping that RM will show us why he was our # 1 last year. I also hope that they will take off the kid gloves with DH and make him understand that this is his last shot.
