I am most concerned about our OL and our RB's.  If our OL is not better/healthier than this year we're pretty much screwed, I would think. There are so many question marks it is hard to forecast how good the OL will be next year. There is no Hickey or Pugh in this group and the guard play has been poor. I understand we have had many guys playing injured and out of position, but the concern remains. Ward needs to be as advertised and perhaps we will have a couple of nice surprises out of Roberts, Darney or Hindy. I think this could be a greater challenge that people think. I wonder if the expected emphasis on TE is a recognition of our OL line challenges.

Without Hunt's rushing numbers, our running game is as big a problem as our passing.In conference games we rank 11th out of 14 in rushing. PTG was our only reliable back and he will be gone. GMII disappeared altogether and DM is not an every down back. Erv averaged only 3.7 yards per carry and seems more like an H-Back to me.

We have averaged 3.2 sacks per game in conference play thus far this year., which has also got to improve.

Lester may very well have limited choices in what he can and cannot play next year.
