Lee and LVE have been pro bowlers, and when gregory is actually on the field he has played at that level. Cheeto was a starting corner.
Not to mention it is a new defensive scheme and coordinator, and they had no preseason games. You don't think they will improve from just playing more, not to mention the people coming back?
LVE was a Pro Bowler his rookie year when he actually deserved it. He played like crap last year and that was before his injury, we have no idea what we’ll get this year.
Smith?!! LOL! We all know the Pro Bowl is nothing but a popularity contest to begin with and he happens to play for the most popular team. Can you honestly tell me he deserved to be in the Pro Bowl last year? Even some of the biggest homers on this site will admit that was a joke.
“When Gregory was on the field.” You can say that about a lot of players but until proven otherwise it’s a big stretch to assume they’ll be the same or an upgrade. I’ve been hearing that same crap every year but it’s always different player. Weren’t Griffen and Poe supposed to be big upgrades from Quinn and Collins? How’s that working out?
No, based on Nolans track record, I don’t think they will improve “that” much. As far as every “no pre season game” excuses goes, that applies to every team. In other words, we just barely beat the worst offense in the league. Jaylon and Dlaw put up some nice numbers against the WORST offense in the league. According to your philosophy, shouldn't they improve as well thus nullifying our improvements?
