Your projected 2025 starting lineup

[gimmesix]

Yeah its a real possibility that he wont even make the roster this year.

I'm thinking he doesn't. We've got Parsons, Kneeland, Ezeiruaku and Fowler for sure, and I think we'll keep Turner to play a run-down end role, so that would make five. Maybe we'll be able to trade him for a late-round pick, but he have to show enough in camp for someone to bite.

How? Lets just break it down.

Safeties - Same pair, year older. Worse
Corners - Lost 1 starter. Another wont be ready until who knows when after the season starts. Key backup out longer than that. We added a cast off and a rookie who we hope will be ready. Far worse shape than last year.
LB - Worse. Kendricks was about all we had until Overhown flashed. Now hes coming off injury, who knows when. We added two meh's.
DE - Push with a chance to be better. Lawrence will be missed.
DT - Push. But we suck.

Offense a push. Booker doesnt give us much, IMO. Cooks wont be missed. I like Tolbert and think he can be a 2. Mingo and Campbell are unknowns.

QB - Slightly worse. Dak a year older and coming off injury.

RB - Push. Blue isnt Gibbs. Everyone else is meh.

TE - Could be better if Schoon takes a step.

So yeah, this team is worse. Push at best. Every other team in our div is better. So 6 wins it is.

De a push lol ok. Dlaw is finished

Blue will be RB1
Ezieruake starts over williams
Toia may start over Mazi
WR2 is not on the roster yet
If guyton stinks up the preseason it will be
Tyler Smith -LT
Booker -LG
Beebee -C
Robert Jones -RG
Steel -RT

11 wins...

The pass rush will be infinitely better and that was the main reason for those 12-5 seasons. They weren't stopping the run during those years either. Last years pass rush was terrible after losing fowler, DA and Sam getting hurt. That alone makes them better.

DA? Sam Williams averages 4 sacks a season, been a huge disappointment so far, and honestly seems Fowler is averaging a double digit sack season every 5 years, his other years have been nowhere near as good.
The pass rush is still a huge question mark

He was finished, but we have a lot of unproven players at DE

Offense is probably fine, assuming Booker plays well, but the defense is still porous up the middle. Going to be a long year if they can’t stop the run.
