re: teams weakness going into the season

TE is way worse than QB, that position is so bad its basically an afterthought. If I had to rank the worse units for Mizzou going into the season I'd say it's:

1. Tight Ends
2. Defensive Ends
3. Running Back (I like Cody Schrader but he is not a starting SEC quality RB)
4. Offensive Line

I'd say Mizzou's WR & DT rooms are the two strengths of the team as far as talent, and particularly depth, goes.
