I'm not completely sold on Foster's ability to call the game like Ragland/Moseley, etc, I need to wait and see. Also curious about the secondary regarding second safety spot and what we do with Minkah/final corner position - really wish Tony Brown was reliable or else we would be totally set.

WR is stacked, RB I never worry about (in any year) and QB i just can't pretend to know who it will be or how well they will play, but the past two years have been fine with me so I'm not too worried and I think Kiffin is one of the best coaches you could have for qb development.

For the OL, we had some problems last year, especially early and we need to replace Ryan Kelly. I know they got voted #1 but they were not to the level of 09/11/12 in my opinion and I still kind of view it as a bit of a question going in (as an entire unit).

and 2010 is a great point, although we got boned by injuries that year. I don't think we will come out and be dominant like 2011, but similar to the last couple years if we can get clicking and get on a role who knows what the team can do.

I'm curious to see the difference with Pruitt. I think the spring moves of Evans to MLB are really interesting (and I like it a lot).

If the light turns on for Tony Brown then goodness. Our secondary is so fast, physical and now experienced.

100% agree. Our OL last year was average for the first 2/3 of the year. They were a lot better post-bye week, but they were not great. However, like the other positions, I feel like we have really really solid, talented and experienced depth there. Agree about replacing Kelly - that is a big key.

I think the secondary is pretty much set whether or not Brown plays. . .

CBs: Humphrey, Fitzpatrick
FS: Jackson
SS: Harrison
Nickel & Dime: Some combination of Brown/Sheffield/Burgess-Becker

The backfield should be the strength of the defense and with Pruitt's agressive scheme, should really flourish.
