On Offense and Defense this year?
Im sure QB will be at the top of most peoples list. Not me. I would lump a good chunk of Applebees performances last year in the same as Etlings with 'A D1 QB shouldnt struggle that much with basic stuff'. So to some degree, Im going to look the other way. Unless Blough or Sindelar start, then I will just be incredibly annoyed at continuing the long line of new starters.
I will be watching RB the closest. They shirted guys here, and the youngsters should display a full understanding of whats going on. I expect them to perform average to below average in total. However, I expect them to follow blockers and pick up guys in pass protection properly.
On defense I will watch the line. I was glad to see Hudson working with the ends. There is great potential at DT, and I also want to see guys moving their hands and bodies while staying gap sound and not just getting stood up and holding ground.
If I see these improvement in these areas, it will be reflective of the coaching staff making strides.
