LOL, I write a small pamphlet, and you come back with this. Anything could happen in any game. It's fun to revisit last year's matchup, but you could play the same team twice in the same year and have vastly different results. In 2003, the Bills beat the Patriots 31-0 in the opener...then the Patriots beat the Bills 31-0 in the final game. Look at the difference between the two Chargers/Chiefs matchups last year.
The opener can be especially tricky. The trend is to focus on how changes look on paper, cuz that's all you got. You don't really know until you see it on the field. Everybody TRIED to get better this offseason, and everybody is trying to rob the same train.
Evans hasn't made an impact for us in a couple of years now. He should be much better in Baltimore.

Dareus is as strong as a bull already. He's a special player, or should be. All he has to do is hold his ground against a couple of lineman without getting pushed backwards on most plays...take on a double team. It's not rocket science. He'll need some time to reach his potential, but make no mistake: he's an immediate improvement to that line. Torrell Troup, our second round pick from last year, needed a year (so far), but Dareus is way ahead of most d-lineman coming into the NFL. He might be that 1 out of 10. We'll see.
