Offense stronger
- OL the same
- WR/TE weaker
-RB better
- QB better
Defense same but potentially better
- DL same
- LB better
- DB little worse due to safeties
Special teams will not be better because punting still not proven and Peppers was the best returner
Coaching will be better Brown (yr3), Harbaugh (yr4), I believe in Warriner to be better than Drevno and the rest of the staff is a wash.
I think this team will be tougher and want to prove themselves.
This is like using a turn signal in Boston traffic, the people can be brutal both male and female. Having lived in Birmingham and moved out there I wanted to chase anyone flipping me off while driving in Boston until I realized everyone flipped you off. That would be a full time endevour. Still enjoyed my time there immensely.
I lived there in the 70's and loved it. From Concord to Cambridge was great and very historical. Great transit system from Cambridge to anywhere ( driving was bad then, probably so much worse). Roads are not meant for 20th century so driving sucks, look for alternative transportation.
Cape Cod, Nantucket, Boston Harbor are so much worth it. Then you have All of New England to explore which is amazing. I've lived in some pricey places Chicago, Boston, LA... You adjust after a year and it's always worth it. Good luck.
PS meant for the OP
I have potted ones that I've hardly touched in years and they do fine. In the ground Sagos I've inherited have contracted white film that is a disease. They also need multiple pruning as they grow along with the pups that come up along the base which are a pain to dig out. They are valuable if you like to harvest the pups but not my gig.
Having lived in dry desert climes and wet humid the former does have better results.
Your avatar picture is great and matches your reaction well.
Since we're talking Stribling too now, I was surprised they favored him even before Clarke's injury. Almost like Clarke was in someone's dog house and kept him back some.
That kinda explains why Mone is not as hyped now as he was before Brown. He has become more of a role player for goal line or pure fun stopper than anything else.
Not so sure we have to win this game, a loss means tougher to get in CFP but if they play well and catapult the momentum with sustained offensive improvement I can see a two loss (1 B10) season would be a great turnaround and totally possible. I would take that scenario with 3 wins over the 4 very tough B10 games (Osu,MSU,psu,whisky) while winning the rest. Would you take that?
Been documented that blocking schemes were too complicated in the past and coaching adjustments were made. Believe we have the talent but scheme and technique I am confident will improve this year with an elusive QB and a good run game we will be better. WR talent needs to produce and I beleive they will. We can be as good or better than 2016 on offense and that will be fine with me to get back to 10+ wins with a tougher schedule. I beleive!!
Love it that they get to play all four years which is selfish on my part. Megan Beaubian for 3 more years could rival Sierra in greatness before she's done.
Surprised with #2 defense in the nation that only one Michigan player made all Big Ten defensive team. Don't have enough knowledge to know if someone was slighted but seems off to me.
Agee with the Oline and need better play calling/coaching but will to win and finish it it off for 60 minutes has not always been there late in the season. Hopefully they have a chip on their shoulder and punch it out till the last whistle blows. .
Defense will be stronger, QB better either way, WR could be potentially as good if not better so I beleive this is the year. I beleive we can go into Columbus with 0-1 losses. We have the talent to make that happen despite the tough schedule.
He put all his marbles on Devno and it backfired. Things went well overall in 2016 and 2017 things became more obvious but your right he should have seen this sooner.
So talent, scheme and coaching will make the difference. Make you own luck by aggressively meshing together and quickly. Hopefully Shea can get up to speed quicker than Rudock did, good news Shea had spring where Jake did not.
Is this team better than LY? Seems like there hitting has picked up and there fielding and pitching is better than ever. Maybe it's the competition but anyone have a feel to how good they are?
Some better than others, but love to see backup RB (Evans) highlight the video. Running game could be dominant in most games. Hoping for serviceable weaponry against Top ranked teams.
Those that go against Amazon or refuse to enter buy online and pick up in store are dying and will cease to exist. Lot of businesses thriving or getting along just fine.
