Some people might think you went low on the win total by projecting a 9-7 season. That sounds about right to me. Just to many questions on defense to get too giddy. Its funny how one successful season ramps up expectations.

I hadn’t really considered the OL a strength of our team but after thinking about they did keep Ryan off his back (mostly) and opened enough holes for Turner to have a monster season.

The last line about Anderson made me chuckle -

fans and coaches are becoming more and more disillusioned with the big DE.

Yes. Yes we are

While I like our OL...

A big reason for Ryan’s sack total being so low was due to him getting rid of the ball so quickly. There’s a video of McClure (I think) stating this, I just can’t find it.

Good Points

I agree with you, 9-7 is about right but 10-6 is not a real stretch. The weakness is still the secondary and I did not see any real big moves to improve it in the off-season. The addition of Tony Gonzalez is really going to help Matt and Roddy so I am real excited about the start of the season right now, but lets get through the training camps and pre-season.
