I think, with our intelligence (which is fully disregarded by the world at large) that we will be exceptionally close to having a pro-caliber defense at all times and we will henceforth have the ability to both smackdown bitches as well as take advantage of them, ergo, allowing our offense the opportunities for the same kind of maturity that our defense has played a part in over the past two years.
(I know crazy talk at this point... but our skill on Offense is beginning to stack itself up.... Defense has been stacking up for some time... but offensively, the talent is beginning to get almost as sick as the "D". People can deny this. But they can also cry in their sleep, and that won't do them much good either.)
I'm drinking...so take it easy, now. I'm drinking.
PS. This is not relevant, but, I think everyone of our defensive players will get drafted from this year's team.
Offense: Who knows at this point but it looks pretty good thus far for them too.
I know they're not all first rounders..... but defensively... we've got some potiential.

Fox - 2 to 4
EJ Underwood - 3 to 5
Whitner - 3 - 5
Salley - 2 to 3
Everett - 2 to 3
Ginn - 2 to 3
Youboty - 3 to 4
Linebackers - 3 to 5
Total = 20 to 32

I like the way that you think.
