Football Is Finally Here!

i feel comfortable about the d-line until proven otherwise...but the o line to me is gonna be a mess

This make no sense to me. The D-line is manned with a rookie, a second year guy, Walker, a truck driver and two DEs who can't stay healthy. That worries me a whole hell of a lot. They could be great, or mediocre or terrible. There is absolutely no way to tell.

The offensive line also has the potential to be anywhere from dominant to terrible, but I see a lot less problem with depth/injuries there simply because there is a a lot of versatility there. If/when Thomas gets hurt they have Herremans and Justice. If Runyan gives in to old age they have Andrews. Fraley sucks, but would be great as a backup. MJG should be able to play a little and the other backup guards have experience. Passable talent up and down the depth chart with only a couple of injury worries.

Even though they are both question marks, the defensive line worries me a whole hell of a lot more than the offensive line.

in other words you agree with me...its looks good until proven otherwise

two pro bolwers on the ends and two first round picks in the middle...plus great depth

cant argue with that

O-line IMO looks better than d-line going into camp.  Overall comparing to last season though, both lines are in waaay better period. more depth and healthy.  of course if everyone can stay healthy, play up and beyond their abilities and do it consistently we should be tearing some new iceholes.

I agree, but the depth along the D-Line (if it holds up) could be a big plus for the DBs.

depth is def. a good thing, but if they arn't getting penetration its no good for the DB's.  this is the most crucial part to next year. i feel like the defense has to win us games, mostly because im not that confident in our offense.  yes the WR's are young and or just average. the run game has yet to be established and im not ready to believe Reid is that eager to run the ball.  we'll see.  other than the lack of confidence, im still pumped as hell for some football.  these guys have something to prove this year.
