Are there some challenges, with regards to the offensive line - sure.

But we have a very good starting defense with some decent rotational depth at all positions...

We may very well have the best 3 WR set now in the NFL...

The obvious concerns are the offensive guards where I've been really disappointed in Lelito who I still have high hopes and I'd add Tight End to real concerns...

The defense has been so bad for seemingly so long, that mediocre would be embraced; but this defense by season's end will be more than mediocre - they can be special and I believe that.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Darryl Tapp wanted it more? Don't know that Tapp is in, but you can't just mail in the check...


That gets it down to 63...

Now if we could get rid of the albatross and his contract, we could really see this humble kid do some great things...
