Just my observations and opinions.

The offense has a chance to be improved.

We know what we'll get with Priest, Tony and Eddie, and Trent.

LJ has the ability to be an explosive change of pace.

Even if Samie Parker isn't all world, his speed, and the threat that speed adds to the offense will create more opportunities for Eddie and Tony.

If Boe is healthy, he adds another dimension.

Kris Wison has to prove it in games.

Kevin Sampson is going to be a mauler at RT, and will only improve our already league best O-Line.

And T-Rich is still one of the best blocking FBs in the league.

The defense still has a long way to go.

Sims needs to show up on gameday every game and provide the push in the middle.
The game against Vikings at least gives some hope that could happen.

Hicks is just an "effort" guy on one end, and Allen didn't look as good as last season in the game, but it is only one preseason game.
Still, we need improved play on both Ends this season.

Kawika still needs to step up his game.
DJ showed flashes of his speed and athleticism, but has a long way to go to become an impact rookie.
And Bell just needs to suit up and play.

Surtain is a stud, but the rest of the secondary strongly resembled the '04 secondary.
Warfield's suspension is going to hurt in the first 4 games.
