Changed anything? Were their players young, and maybe progressing? Tell me what'cha know. Clayton Please don't respond. No Offense, but I don't need any slanted info.

Their major addition is Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator. His defense is always good for the first year wherever he goes.
They lost Curtis Loften, MLB, and he was good.
They signed Lofa Tatupu, MLB, and he is already out for the year.
They have a second year MLB, Akeem Dent, starting but he got hurt and had a concussion in the first game. Now they have ancient Mike Peterson at MLB.
In other words, MLB is a mess.
Thei defensive tackles are nothing special. Their safeties aren't to good (Decoud and Chris Hope).
Weatherspoon is pretty good at OLB. Nicholas is below average.
They traded for Samuel so they are loaded at CB and will play in the nickel most of the time. Samuel, Grimes, and Robinson is going to be hard on us.
Abraham and Edwards are decent at DE. They have Jerry (former first rounder) and Babineaux (?) at DT. Pretty average at DT.
I think their run defense will be suspect.
We will have to run the ball well to win. Moeaki and Boss will be the #1 targets in the passing game.
