[QUOTE="DILLIGAFF, post: 268716, member: 1719"] 1 [U]-"O-line[/U]", pieced together after playing the scuffle game and at one point of the season dead last in sacks allowed. Book end tackles were question marks this year due to age and injuries, next year more the same and both a year older. Sitton may be the only position that is set going into training camp. This is a major work in progress 2. - "[U]Defense[/U]", an improvement from last year but had the growing pains associated with move to the 3-4. Key injuries at the CB position exposed a weakness late in the season as far as depth at the position. Kampman's switch to the new position still a question mark, his injury and contract lead only to more questions. Mathews was a nice surprise and exceeded expectations in his first year, Raji like most rookies has a lot of things to improve. Brads Jones another welcomed surprise, interesting to see how he develops. Question marks about AJ Hawk, bumpy road to start (lions game 9 reps) did some good things late, but awful playoff performance, Barnett with nothing to brag about either that game, but one year removed from knee injury may see him fully back to his old self Defense still came up short playing the better teams in the league, Steeler/Arizona 1000 yards against. Big concern here, not a top 5 defense yet. 3 - [U]"Special Teams"[/U] Issues with skill positions, kickers and return men. Last year a major focus by MM saw at best no improvement this year and may have gotten worse.
