on our schedule? I look ahead & not backwards, so I'll start by saying I ranked them # 4 or 5 on our schedule, according to my mood, when the season started. I now wonder if they are in the top 5. They have some very good players, but consider they:
lost 3 DL starters & some backups, seen no sign they've recovered from this
lost 2 good LBs (Jenkins very good IMO), very difficult to replace
Their DBs are not playing as well as I expected
Chubb, an exceptional RB, IMO their best player, is still recovering from last years injury & is injured again
They have a true freshman QB and and an OL that is struggling
Their WRs look solid but young , but no star quality this year
I don't see them as better in any particular area, any see it differently? Now they can beat us, they have some very good athletes, we have to play well, but our overall experience & talent should prevail.
