It's hard to quantify what to expect from your team, given you have a new coach.  I'm not sure what kind of systems he will/will not implement.  That being said you lose your star QB, and a lot of your top receiving talent.  I'm sure your run game will be fine, depending how much leverage you can gain with your QB situation, which does not seem promising.  On defense you should be decent again, only losing a small handful of people.

A couple of things, using the NFL draft as a bell weather for comparing dissimilar positions is a laughable argument.  OT's are heavily overvalued in the NFL.  Was Pugh good?  i'm sure.  LB's are not overvalued in the NFL, and it takes a lot more to get LB's drafted that high (similar to RB's now).  Also Mauti tore his ACL in november, that he got drafted at all, is amazing.  Rob Bolden never played a game under Coach Bill O'Brien (COB henceforth), and was coached by Jay Paterno.  Don't need to say more on that.

ok.  I'm not sure how to explain this to you.  We aren't getting paid for this game, you realize that right?  You realize that it was your teams idea to do this to get exposure in NYC right?

You also realize that our talent level hasnt dropped on our 1's, and most of the 2's right?  We are still recruiting at a fairly high level.  Depth has dropped, not talent though.  You can play the injury card, but since it's the first game you won't have much time to get major injuries beforehand.

How can you say that without seeing them take one snap?  To take a play from your playbook you don't really know anything about them and haven't seen them play.
