If we can find and OL we might just win 6 games. With so many starters out and a split team it was very hard to tell much about the O but here are my thoughts.
Sloan Crume Bromley Boatman and Zion are going to be the strenght of our team and possibly the best DL we have seen in years. Sloan was very impressive and will only get better. Diesel and crew looked solid as well add in the Juco and i think we have one heck of a front four.
Our LB's are going to be pretty dam good as well. They are fast, have good range, and seem to be playing at a much faster level than last year. I was very impressed with Dietab. These guys look the part and will be good. Same with the secondary. Plug Lynn back in and we have four maybe five good corners. Safety is going to be a battle as the young guns are athletic and fast. I think that if we can stay healthy this is going to be our best D in years. I really like this side of the ball.
As to the O it all comes down the Oline. Nassib is solid PTG, Smith, Broyld, AAM can all carry the rock. Sales is a star, Lemon is good, Becket is solid, Kobena looked improved, Flemming should play, West has talent, in short we have some weapons this year if and only if the Oline can hold their own which is a huge if. As to our kicker Ross is solid and for punting i have no idea why dixon doesnt get the nod over fisher who i think is weak at best. Dixon has a great stroke and from what i could tell is a much better punter than fisher atleast he was today.
One other point and this is important. I spent half the game on one sideline and the other half on the other. I can say that the guys on the kinder side of the field all got along really well. I didnt get the same vibe from the nassib side of the field actually found it odd.
My prediction for the year is 5 wins as i think that our Oline problems are going to kill us. I hope that im wrong and that when we get some of our guys back things are improved but from what i saw today we really have a long way to go upfront to be competative.
