Looks like you believe in the OL and in the offense overall. 12 of the top 14 players on the team. Wow!  I hope that’s not just a statement that the D will be horrible.

Certainly a statement on both. I am indeed bullish on the offense - notable exception of Hinton - and bearish on the defense. Doing this exercise reminded me even more of my fundamental angst about this team - that damn(ed) front seven. The amount of improvement we need from the front seven is staggering. The BEST Pro Football Focus grades last year of any returning players who had significant snaps in our front seven were Herron's 60.6 and Mangum-Farrar's 55.9. That's so, so, so bad. I think the front seven could significantly improve and this would still be a bad defense. If we can crack top 80 defenses in the country I'd probably be relieved.
