We got older on defense, have a quarterback coming off a subpar year, have a new CB and MLB who both struggled last year and have unproven running backs all with a rookie head coach. I don't get why anyone is shocked that people are down on us.
That being said, I like the moves we made so far. The upside of the players we brought in are quite high and we have very little committed in salary cap beyond this year if they don't work out.
I am also looking for big things from this coaching staff. It has been a long time since we have had coaches that could put the talent in the best position to succeed and it has been even longer since we have had coaches that could out coach the opponent. Both of those things will change this year
I like this team but I get why the national media doesn't.
