That sounds to me like you are making excuses in advance of the drubbing the Skins will take at the hands of the Falcons next week. -g- Losing to the Falcons would be embarrassing even if it is preseason. ;-) Seriously, I'm not sure about this team. We have decent talent penciled in as starters but completely unknown depth. We lost a few really good players to free agency, not anyone most people would recognize. We also lost some player that people would recognize. Goodbye Dion, hurrah! The lose of some name player will not hurt us, loss of those emerging players that were backups or role players last year will probably kill us. Last year I had a hard time rooting for a team that included Dion. This year we have Marty and possibly a team, not just a collection of individuals. At best I see a 9-7 team if they are relatively injury free. With injuries Marty will coach them to 7-9. Lack of quality backups will kill us. Tom
