Legitimate Concerns

The Goodell-imposed coaching chaos is obviously a concern. I believe we have plenty of capable coaches on staff, but the lack of consistency from week-to-week will be a distraction.

Depth in the trenches could be a problem, too. Our starting O-line is very good, but there's a considerable drop in talent behind them. The D-line is in flux - it remains to be seen if that's a good or bad thing - but we desperately need more QB pressure than we generated last year (which had some effect on that DB performance everyone is worried about).

But from everything we have read, training camp has been run according to plan. Reporters keep trying to ask questions regarding this and I have heard Vitt say several times, this is the plan that was laid out by SP.

While there is the chance things could go south with the coaching changes, I think our benefit is that we knew this way in advance and are just going to follow the guidelines of SP.
