We will need depth on the DL however I expect Ruff to take the next step up. He has been showing up more and more as the season progresses and getting a good push. Who fills in around him and for depth is another matter.

On the OL the good news is there will be plenty of competition. From a running perspective, I think we should still be solid in the middle as we were this year. At tackle the questions are more pronounced. We were better than years past but even with Martin we were not great or consistently good at that position all year.

At LB, I think we should be solid but there are questions given the issues defending the run. A lot of young talent with the chance to come in and step up along with returning starters and overall a huge pool of talent to pull from.

Similarly at DB- full cupboard and high end talent. Should be really solid here.

When it comes back to Tommy- I think he needs to get more comfortable with his RPO reads. That and he has to learn to step up into the pocket more vs bailing outside too often. That got him into trouble when he struggled. He also needs to hand it off a bit more in the RPO vs so quickly just getting out there and slinging it. I think that will come. Being the guy vs the relief pitcher can help mentality wise.
