1. Significant improvement in covering punts and kickoffs. O.K., we are mixing and matching players, but we need to know during the regular season if are going to have to play some starters on STs. These subs and bubble guys better start covering asap.
2. Adam Jones returning at least several punts. He was pretty rusty vs. the Chargers in his overall game, and he needs more reps, IMO, in live games - including punt returns.
3. I want to see Austin replicate his performance vs. Broncos. One of the knocks on Austin is his inconsistency. Let's see if he can follow up with a strong performance and have two consecutive good games.
4. We need to see more from the 2nd tier OL. Martin and McQ, especially.
5. Better blocking from TEs not named Witten. I expect Bennett to make progress vs. Denver.
6. A better DISCIPLINED team. We have to cut down on penalties and turnovers.
Also, I hope we trade/acquire of waivers another veteran QB to challenge Bartel - at the minimum. I think a few guys could get cut off other teams, but I think we have to seriously consider bringing in another vet QB.
