I'm optimistic about the fall b/c it's the spring. I always find some way to be optimistic at this point. How realistic is it to be optimistic that there has been some sort of a sea change and this team is suddenly ready to push to or beyond .500 vs. a difficult schedule? I'm not so sure. Maybe, but I'd say the chances more toward unlikely. No pass rush last year and we lost a 1st-round DE (apparently). No vertical component to the passing game -- still an issue until proven otherwise. Shaky, shaky, shaky OL play -- no evidence to suggest that has changed. RBs should be about the same. 
 
The main reason I think it never hurts to be optimistic is you never can quite tell when those "playmakers" will appear. The best chance for this year, IMO, is that some combination of Sales/Kobena/Foster/PTG hit some big plays with some regularity offensively and Spruill/Lynch/Davis/JPB?/Shamarko/Lyn make a bunch of plays and lead a revitalized defense.
 
I mean, it [I]could[/I] happen. At least, that's what I'm telling myself ... because it's spring.
