I agree. There are quite a few teams that couldn't do this. They'd implode. It would only take a couple of guys saying things like "If the real coach were here, he wouldn't do it like that", loud enough in the locker room for things to sprial out of control quickly.

Thats because we were forged in the fires of Mt. Doom... And Sproles carries the precious.

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.

My primary concern's the secondary. (Injuries that is.)

Injuries.
Secondary.
Ridiculously uninformed posters.

Which is worse xan,

Ridiculously uninformed posters

Ridiculously uninformed sports media

I've noticed its becoming increasingly more difficult to distinguish between the two.

Injuries have to be the biggest concern, considering you can't win without players. Good players, anyway. After that, it's a tie between the D-line and the Secondary for me. I think the line is vastly improved, but I won't know till I see them play for more than 5 seconds. And while our Secondary is talented, they didn't live up to expectations last year.

I'm hoping that if we have a good pass rush, we'll see the secondary return to making big plays as they wouldn't have to cover for so long.

I've said this before and I still believe it... I don't think there will be any problems with locker room dissension. Sean isn't there this year, but it's not like he got fired. Players and coaches know he's coming back, so if they want to keep their jobs they will just do their jobs... Like that enormous picture of him says.

Not having our coach and losing our interim coach for 6 games, it messes with continuity.

As others have said our secondary.

Then offensive line

Then these repacement officials.

Defensive backs or the lack therein
