Get the special teams back on track and get the offense to produce. Offense has been a problem since 2009 and with just 5% more production the past eight years we could have had much better years.

This is what we really, really, really need. Guys like Copeland, Watkins, Grimes and Van Jefferson. Playmakers, who can give us that extra 5% when things aren't working.

What I like is that Mullen isn't afraid to get creative to get them the ball -- we saw it with Harvin.

Now, if Toney goes down, we have legitimate threats all over the field that we can lean on if need be -- oh, and an HC/OC who might actually be willing to do some otherwise unorthodox playcalling. The lack of jet-sweeps, trick plays and especially rollouts were completely inexcusable by the second game of the season when the base offense was clearly not going to work.

Skill players look good at RB and WR. TE position on paper looks OK, but we need to see better play, especially blocking.

OL I just don't know how I feel about that. The play has been so up and down. I like the talent at tackle, but not at guard. The big things are toughness and consistency. This unit needs some toughness BIG TIME. They haven't averaged more than 160 yards per game rushing since 2012. That is GARBAGE.

Honestly, none of that matters if QB play stays the same. That is Mullen's biggest job. Finding anything at QB. ANYTHING.

On Defense, I have no idea what to think. The corners seem OK, and I like Reese at MLB, but I have serious doubts about every other position on the defense.

Florida returns 11 of their top 15 tacklers (7 of top 10), so they will have experience, and they seemed to add some good players in this small class, so it probably won't be worse than last year. I hope they can find someone to play safety.
