Why is saying "the jury is out" unacceptable in your mind? Mike Archer also lost a whole game in his first season. Look what happened. The man isn't saying he can't coach....
I'm not really concerned about the OL. After watching the past few games, it can't really get much worse. And we may have more talent on the DL next year, but losing both Wroten and Williams will hurt. Dorsey can fill one of their shoes, but the other DT spot will be a question mark.
Well, I'd have to say that they haven't as a unit been the force that they should be with as much individual talent as there is there, but still.... it definitely could be worse.
Well obviously it could always be worse. But it is about time we get some new guys on the line. Niswanger, Livings, and McGill have been playing forever, and they've never really been that good. Ryan Miller, Brett Helms, and Will Arnold are going to maul some people on the interior, we're going to be improved there, I'm sure of it. It's just going to be tough finding a LT.
Well we also have to worry about depth behind those guys though. I think the guys coming in will be great, but I worry about who we have behind them.

Some of these guys may even be an improvement. Personally, I think that Dorsey playing fulltime may have a bigger impact than Kyle or Claude. Also, this isn't looking at the contributions that recruits like Cutera, Al Woods and Marcus Tillman are likely to bring. I am a little disappointed that no one from last year's class seems ready to step in, though.
might wanna check out the steve spurrier years and see its impact then. regardless, a rotating schedule is a necessity for inter-league.
