I would definitely have to say that this poll is about 3 months too early, however, going on paper facts, I would have to say a strong 9-7 with high playoff contention. I think there a few things that could go either way, to raise that record, or even drop it. Based on paper this looks like a very good team. I am taking a little away from the rookies' paper stats just because those are college numbers and they have never played in the NFL!! That is the biggest variable. I would not be surprised to see this team go 10-6 or 11-5, but I think you have to heir to the conservative when you tallk about so many rookies that are expected to be key players. By "key" player I dont mean great, I mean a player whose performance could change the outcome of the game.....either way. I am very optimistic, but lets wait for at least Training Camp to roll around next time before the season results polls start coming out. It is far to earlyto make a well-rounded, educated prediction.
