Offense
Rating by unit
QB......#1
RB.....#3
WR....#2
TE.....#15
O-Line...#2
The starting offense returns in tact, that does not happen very much in this era.
With the return of Barclay and Tretter,
The O-line is 7 deep with experience and as a unit will be one if the best in 2015.
Defense
Hard to put numbers on the Defense, being realistic, the D lost a lot of experience, so it all depends on how the 2nd and 3r3rd year guys respond to the challenge of more playing time.
D-line....#20
Raji stays healthy and Guion doesn't miss too many games(suspension)The front 3 has a chance to shoot right up in to the tip 10 in the league.
LB's.....#15
Sam Barrington is the key here.
He has become the QB if the defense.
His challenge this year is more mental than physical.
He shows he is up to the task, with Mathews,Peppers, and co.,doesn't matter who wins the other ILB position, the LB unit as a whole could become top 10 also.
Db's.........#10
Shields,HHCD, and Burnett return, Hayward has the inside track as 2nd corner.
Plenty of depth, just not whole lot of experience behind The starters.
Optimistic view is Hyde and Richardson keep improving .
The D as a whole will go through some growing pains eearly.
I see them being. Top 10 group by the end of the year.
Wrapping it all up The Packets ad a tteam, top 5 at this point, by the end is the regular season, they will be the team yo beat!
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
