I really like and respect Marcus as a person and as a coach. He is at the top of my list of young HC's. We are about to see what a motivator he is. They have the advantage of big game experience. I think they only return like 11 starters or so. Many other's got playing time last season, though. They lost their 2 leading tacklers and leaders of their D. Their top 5 leading tacklers were LB's and S's. 2 LB's and 1 S return.. Our OL needs to get to the 2nd level on run plays. They lost their leader and go to guy on O, Leonard. The leaks out of camp aren't positive on Carr or Minchey throwing the ball. Carr is puking from butterflies in practice everyday, not just a pre pracice puke. We have to see the middle of our D contain the run, but I can see us containing only a RB run game with only short passes. I have to keep checking myself from getting confident. We have a lot of talent that is young and players that haven't played a game together. I will only allow myself to expect a close game. That is a worry because in game coaching and our kicking game.
