The Biggest Fins Fan from CT
This topic is not for just my opinion I want to voice mine I want to hear all of the fans reason they feel why we will repeat as division champs or wont. Now I will be contradicting myself and i know that but that is because there are alot of things on this team at are extremly exciting but may not work out in the imediate future.
Why We Will- This team last year was a thrown together bunch that including only a few guys that ever played together. Yet for some reason the chemistry worked and some of our most important players (Brown, Pennington, Ricky, Bell, etc.) were either coming off injuries/hadnt played live football in awhile in comparison to others around the league yet still had great seasons. Pair a year together, a training camp together and injured players like Ronnie having fully healed and it could be and should be a recipe for success. Chad had about a week to learn the system before preseason and despite how well he did there is no way he was completly ready for the start of the season in terms of knowing the playbook, players and coaching staff. The wildcat will only develop giving the abilties of pat white and the teamhaving an entire off season to rework the schemes wil mker the Wildat even more effective. Our receievers were all young players who had little expeience at the pro level and should only get better with an extra year of learning how to play the position. Now that we have retooled in some areas, gotten bigger, more athletic and coupled with the fact that this team has worked together for over a year should make us even better than last year.
Whe we wont- Lets face it we overachieved in nearly every aspect of the game. Alot of things went right includign sched, injuries, tom brady going down and Brett Favre tossing the ball into the arms of opposing defenses down the stretch. The defense still isnt where it needs to be to stop a team like New England or other top tier offenses as our pass rush is still a question and our secondary may still have problems if the new pieces dont perform well. The receiving unit features guys that on many teams would be #3's at best and the wildcat may not work this year as well with teams gearing up for it and having an offseason to go over tape, practice and be ready for the "gimmick" plays. Chad is not a sure thing as he does have an injury history and could be one late hit or awkward movement away from a season ending injury.
Just my opinion and I looke forward to yours.
