After seeing our draft and our schedule, I really think this team is 9-7 or 10-6 and will be a playoff team. They'll at least be closer to a playoff team than the #30 team in the league.
With the chiefs trading Allen, don't be surprised if the defense takes a step back next season. I think we picked up some good players in the draft, but it's going to take time for them to get up to speed. Before the trade I was thinking that with Allen in the defense they will at least keep us in the game. But I'm not so sure now, unless Hali, Tank, Turk and Dorsey can put pressure on the QB our secondary will be exposed, especially at the CB spots. I was counting on the defense to keep us close and give the offense a chance to get up to speed, but it might be 2009 before we see results of our defensive draft picks and if that's the case then the offense is going to be playing catch up a lot and passing a lot as well. It would of been nice to have Allen alongside of Dorsey for a nice one, two punch. I just think we're going to miss Allen a lot more than what the Chiefs are letting on.
Keeping my britches between the ditches! :character00182:
