re: The defense worries me still

The DL on the inside is just fine. Logan should hopefully progress and has experience. Beckner can be a stud if healthy. And we have the JUCO's and Byers when moved inside. Has Tyrell Jacobs just disappeared?

On the outside, Frazier is an A player. Thin after that. If Byers is all that has been written about him, I can see him contributing a lot here. Smash would be a bonus if he were to break out. My concern at DE isn't so much this year as the next year or two.

Disappointed that Lee and Hall haven't turned into more. I like Beisel's quotes but wouldn't be shocked to see Garrett get more playing time before the season ends. I'm with you hoping Miller and Brooks are the real deal and if they can break through what we have, that's a bonus.

Just not very excited with the DB's. Not a good combo to have if no one is getting pressure besides Frazier.

Overall, I think we'll be better than last year but no where near what we have become accustomed to over the years.
