Mickey, there was a time (and it lasted a long time for me) when I was so fearful of opponents DL's, because IMO, our OL was our very weakest link. NOT ANYMORE! We now have talent at starting OL and talented depth there as well, and it has become a strength that can be counted on, rather than a weakness we had to game plan around. While all those players you wrote about are great players, I am not scared. We are going to be a great team again this year, no matter who is at QB, IMO. I've always heard that Defense wins championships, and if that is true, we should get another trophy soon. I do think our Offense will be great again, too, just in a more diversified way, no matter who is the QB. I can't wait!
