Crested Butte-Holes ... starters are in bold.

Overall, I think this is a stellar team with the lone question mark really being the durability and health of the QBs. Schaub is always a risk for injury, but I made the decision to trade away Cassel and I think it will prove to be a wise move, at least early on this season.

Offensively, we have a lot of options... great pass catching WRs that love to rack up YAC and a stone cold stud at TE with Olsen. The ground game will be led by the punishing work of Jacobs, with Kevin Smith coming in for about 10 carries a game. And, while Hillis is not your 'stereotypical' FB... his well rounded game brings another dimension as he can be a RB and a great threat in the passing game, which should provide Schaub with a ton of opportunities.

Speaking of keeping Schaub healthy, that Oline is pretty tight and it's up to them to keep him vertical and I see no real issues with them at this point.

Defensively, Peppers gives us the ability to run a 4-3 or a 3-4 in the right situations. The DLINE has a lot of versatility and they should give the LBs a ton of opportunities to create turnovers. We have a lot of depth up front on the DLINE and with the LBs, the plan is to keep them fresh and healthy with a solid rotation throughout the game when needed.

And, when they do pass... good luck having success against this secondary!

Overall - I believe this is a fundamentally sound and well rounded team. And, as I scan the other rosters and look at the starters... there may be 2 teams that can stand toe to toe with this lineup on any given week.
