blissfully stupid
i think your underestimating exactly how good the 02 team really was.
offense:
wrs: even without ginn and gonzo, i think our 07 crew will be better. i really like the brian's and small could make a big impact with more playing time. jenkins is better than anyone we have now, but the depth tips the scales.
oline: 07 has a shot at being just as good. on paper, the talent is there. but don't forget about hartsock on the 02 squad. one of the best te's we've had imo. nicol has the talent, but until proven otherwise... gotta give the 02 group the nod. talent alone isn't enough, you really have to see an o line come together as a group to properly judge its ability. definite advantage 02.
rb: clearly 07. clarrett was a phenom. is beanie better? *shrug* again... on paper the talent's there and im really impressed by what i have seen. but what really seperates the 02 and 07 squad is depth. depending on what pitt does, we will have increadible to solid depth with the well's twins guaranteed to be back and possibly pitt.
qb: ginormous question mark. both boeckman and show have displayed talent on the field in games. but neither has played 4 quarters. no way no how can you put either in craig's league at this point.
defense
dline: we loose pitcock, patterson and richardson as well as some important backups on the dline. some of the young guys getting limited playing time are going to have to step up HUGE to be in the 02 squad's league.
lb: there are some losses, but the core remains. this group has a good shot of being just as good as 02. maybe better.
cb: mj and washington will have another year under their belt. i think this group has all the ability in the world. id be very happy if they pair up to play as well as the gamble/fox duo. but honestly, i expect them to be better. this could be the best cb crew since winfield/plummer. edge 07. i think it's extremely debatable because right now 02 is better, but with the amount of experience and based on what they have shown on the field, this should be a serious strength.
s/ss: again, this should be one of the strengths of our d next year. i think o'neal is progressing well. with russell back next season i expect these two to play very well. but doss and nickey left some very big shoes to fill. i think they are a year away from being at that level. as far as next year is conscerned, 02 is better.
speacial teams
even if ginn came back, id be extremely impressed if the 07 group proved to be better. ginn is a better returner than gamble. but its hard to expect anyone to be better than groom and nuge... :p
next year is definitely a reload year. but i don't expect us to be the odds on fav for the big 10, let alone the nc. but i really think people are overlooking what krenzel, the special units, the dline, as well as doss and nickey broght to the 02 squad. theres talent and intangibles there that are extremely difficult to duplicate.
