[QUOTE="Crusty, post: 446418, member: 2265"]
Being perfectly willing to project good things for the D when they have now had two lousy years in a row and not being willing to project favorably on the offense which had a break out year, new scheme and returns many starter, is what is really insane. 
 
I mentioned Sugar Bear because the passing game needs to replace Lemon and Sales and it does not have to do it with just WR. We had great success with Provo in 2011 and having TEs that are a cut above can really help fill the gap. 
 
We were 65th in pass defense, which means we were not very good. Can't blame it all on the safeties. We even had second string QBs pick us apart. It remains to be seen how Reddish and especially Lyn will develop but it is silly to project that either will play on Sundays at this point. Don't get me wrong I hope they will and they certainly have time but it is a stretch based on what they have shown so far. The results were the epitome of average - potential sure - but last year pretty average at best.
 
I also think the future is bright also but anyone that thinks it is a given that the D will be a lot better than average next year is simply Orange blind. Improvement sure, but probably not a top 25. I would settle for a top 50.
