While I think the method of delivery is completely sour grapes, I do believe there is some fair assessment in the statements.

My biggest question, concern if you will, entering this season is how does this offense fair without Dungey's legs and moxy.  Prior to last season, these were a big big issue for us, as it was difficult to keep him healthy. Last year, he stayed healthy and everything finally came together.  I remember DB saying last season that TD is actually faster than ED, but that doesn't necessarily translate to what Eric's decision making capabilities on the field.  Tommy is surely a better passer.  I'm hoping that TD's ability to extend the plays and find receivers downfield on broken coverages overcomes the ability ED showed in extending drives with his legs.  Jury's still out though.

The WR's may be more talented now, but will they play to the level Custis did last season.  He had some big time catches in big time situations last season.  Hopefully we're able to spread the field more with TD's arm and these highlight reel catches aren't needed.

TE is definitely a concern for me.  Pierce may not have had the stats that I'd have expected from a big time TE, but the guy drew attention for sure.  Our current TE situation has me concerned.

The statements about our defense are wildly incorrect.  Basically that coach is saying that SU had a turnover-chain like fluke year.  I vehemently disagree with him there.
