Somebody throw me a bone. I've so far managed to stay positive through this weird off-season - after all, a lot of the stuff won't affect the team. But now when I sit and think, I see one too many obstacles to a reasonable season.
I can convince myself that we can deal with an inexperienced line as long as we've got a better passing game, a reasonable rb option and a good game plan and coaching staff.
Or that we can get past the shambles of a coaching staff as long as our line gels and the players step it up.
Or that Ricky is not a great loss as long as the line gels, the coaching staff adapts and the passing game is better.
Or that at best our qb (either one) will be average and serviceable as long as our line gels, the receivers make him look better, and the coaching staff adapts.
I'm just starting to get real doubtful that all those things can happen simultaneously.
I guess my optimism now is in signing Ogun and Chambers now, so if we have a bad year (which I'm starting to fear), next year we'll have a good talent base and a high 1st round pick for our hopefully brand new coaching staff!
Somebody talk me out of this funk!
