Simmonton said that 7 is the ceiling I believe...
I don’t see how those numbers are odd given the amount of swing games we have. I see the biggest gain coming from the back end to the front... however I don’t agree that our LB play was bad or poor... average yes.. poor no...
I also think the LB group will be the most improved and when that group is going this defense goes... you have bituli, Crouch, Henry T in the middle... Taylor on the end (I think he ends up having a great year and goes in the first two rounds of the draft) along with Bennett, Johnson, Harrison, and I know I’m forgetting some... also adding guys like McCollough that are your “glue” guys for this defense and you start to look pretty stout...
I think when you add a guy like Williams, and the NT like Simmons you start to look a lot better so this “we suck” on the defensive line isn’t really true... we will be average middle of the pack but in this defense the LB’s make the Defensive Line right...
I could be wrong and I’m definitely not the “I know everything guy” so maybe I’m off base but where I am sitting I see us at 8-4 with a possibility of us getting to 9 and of everything goes wrong and we have injuries then we could drop as low as 6 wins but I don’t see that happening.
