Defensively... well...

That's the worry. We're essentially treading water on the DL and there's not a ton of reason to be optimistic about the LBs (Tyler looks good, but does he make up for Martinez?). DBs should improve, but we've seen what happens when you have no pass rush. Taking a step back on both sides of the ball seems entirely possible. But with a few surprises on the upside, we could have a good season. A few surprises on the downside, though, and a bowl game starts looking dicey...

But there's lots of time to talk about that in the offseason.



Also, winflop, does that factor in kickoffs? Because those matter and Ukropina has not been good at them.
