At WR we are still thin, Simpson looks potentially good but won't be around for 3 games we need to win.

The LB group is as bad as I remember it as far as starting talent and depth. Take away Greenway, (who is a good LB but not dominant) and it gets thin like right now.

The DB group can't be worse than it was. I hope they make big strides because they need to after being one of the worst groups in history.

But the OL should be improved. They have added talent and depth to a higher degree than they have in over a decade so I am looking to hear less about them this year.

The QB situation will be pivotal. Ponder looks to be improving and he needs to and also he needs to stay healthy. With the QB's we have in the division he is going to have to put up some impressive numbers to be considered anything but a floormat in the division.

The rest of the division seems to be pretty solid so we are going to have to fight for every division win unless injuries take out a few division opponents.

I am going to stay conservative and predict a 4-12 record. f the team comes together I think we can squeak a few more out and hopefully this year is one that takes the team in the right direction.

I see alot of the same things, hoping the center of the defensive line can get some push (KWill in contract year) they get 5-11

I think 6-8 wins, with a better division record.

I talked to Singer on the phone this AM, I'm going to see if I can make a trip to Minny and catch a Vikings game, and hang with the crew there. 'again, nice to be back and hope to see you all soon at a game.

From what I learned and watched last year, and from what I've seen and read about happening this year, I think a little more on the half glass full side. I really think we are going to be much better this season, win the Div? NOPE! But wouldn't suprise me one bit if we earned a wild card spot. And the biggest suprise we all see this year? I think it's going to be coming from Ponder himself. I won't elaborate much on it, but I think he's going to have an awesome season, which will make others around him play better and want what he wants, to win and win in style.......I think our D'backs and S positions are going to show a very nice improvement also. Now if AP can stay healthy for the season and get back to nearly being himself of the past, and if our OLine can jell faster than the NFL's norm, we may all be in for a speical and very happy season..
