Hopefully, losing Fairly doesn't completely kill the improvement momentum but I'm still optimistic. Rankins and Onyemata both looked good in their rookie seasons. Okafor may not end up being a stud but he should easily be better than Kruger was for us. If those mid round draft picks work out, this could be a solid DLine.

we will see if the secondary can stay healthy and not have a sign out asking teams to pass. thus the huge need for a pass rush.

healthy secondary will show what the DL can do

I through all of last years stats out the window
