Another article by Chris writing on Curt's Phins.com site..He agrees with us and our concerns for the most part.
Your thoughts, any additions or subtractions to this list..He pretty much list my thoughts.


Ten Things
 
Thanks for the post. Pretty much agree with everything there. Defensive Tackle is the position to watch this year IMO. I really believe that the Oline will be good this year and feel that the offense will be better than expected. My only worry is that the defense will be worse than expected
 
Agree, DT is huge for us this year, if we can't stop the run, and the secondary don't pan out, this may be a long, long season, with the questions on O to resolve.

"B.--Teammates-already-have-said-they-will-welcome-him-back...."

What they say to the media is towing the company line. Going to be more than a few are going to want to give him "a little extra."

I think he is going to get lit up come pratice. Hope its' Bua...
