I actually like as just as much (or better) on paper than I did last year. I think our team remains absolutely LOADED and can easily survive an injury to anybody except RW, Sherm, Kam, or ET long-term. Even then we're still a solid team, but 10-6 and you could miss the playoffs, just like last year with AZ. Things I'm most excited about :
1. Percy Harvin - said it before the NO playoff game and even the SB, I found myself nearly as excited to see Percy Harvin play as I was for the actual game itself. 2 kickoff returns, one for 58 yrds, another for a TD. An absolute wild card more than anybody in football on offence. I'm not even asking for a full season of health, just 10 games + playoffs and I'd be ecstatic
2. Paul Richardson - particulalry if Percy stays healthy, my god our offence can be so much more explosive than last year, in a year where we were still top 5 in explosive plays. P-Rich also provides great insurance for Percy if he goes down
3. Our kick return game - P-Rich on Punts, Percy on Kickoffs, ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? The only (though large) drawback is leaving both open to increased chance of injury, but you play to win the game(s) and deal with injuries if they happen
4. Our Defence - for at least 3 years now our D has been more exciting to watch than our offence. If that changes this year, then we're in for an incredible treat, because there's no reason to believe our D won't be #1 in the NFL yet again in PPG allowed and Turnovers forced
5. Emergence of a young player : Several candidates to step up into major roles this yr, Norwood, Christine Michael, Scruggs, Justin Britt, Jesse Williams, Tharold Simon, etc, so many guys that have a chance for a huge breakout season
