Thanks for the comments, guys.
To answer your question, Aussie, I tried to avoid the “avoid injury” storyline, at least for the purposes of this post. We’ll be touching on injuries soon enough, though.
Peachstate, you’re right, I should mention the running backs more and plan to do that soon also. And I would say, I agree that there seems to be an overall lack of diversity in terms of the offensive sets.

I totally agree with the comments about McCarthy reverting back to his early 09 ways and heaving the ball. There are probably 3 to 4 times per game at most that the Pack should risk the deep ball. I just wanted to throw an idea out there. You haven’t mentioned much about the run game. Does the Pack have to run I-formation? If we switched it up once in a while (put Grant and Jackson,etc. in the backfield at the same time – wishbone style or running back in the slot put in motion) don’t you think that it would throw the defense for a loop? The opposing defense seems to only have to prepare for i-formation or shotgun. Maybe I’m way off on this one, just thought I’d ask.

Very valid points but what about the LB’s we could be very thin there to if we get one or two injuries during the year. I am confident Brad Jones will improve but if heaven forbid CM3 or Barnett goes down we could be in a world of hurt?
P.S love the Kate Moss line.

I agree 100% on those concerns. 2008 was a horrible year for the defense in large part to poor play from the DL and lack of depth their.

After that loss to Tampa, McCarthy and Thompson were a half season away from getting run out of town. Despite last year’s successful, I definitely forgot how many games they pissed away because of poor offense line play (which probably lost them the division title as well).

Special Teams play was also devasting in the MN losses in all phases. It very nearly cost us the Ravens game as well if it weren’t for a Tramon Williams INT.

on the return game….last night in madden i returned TWO kickoffs of TDs and another to the 15yd line(errr)….if that helps.

i think staying focused is the biggest key here. we and they all know the talent is there. but you don’t win on talent alone. you need to be disciplined, and focused on winning ONE game at a time.

i still have doubts about our CB depth, and our now thinner DL. i don’t think wynn or wilson will factor in much as they are just not big enough to hold up as 3-4 DEs, i would love to see a bigger body above them on the depth chart. really we have a second round pick with high hopes, two undersized inexperienced lineman, and a guy who can’t stay healthy to save his life as our backups…not exactly comforting.

and guys like bradon underwood and pat lee are going to need some good play up front to assist them in their roles as nickle and/or dime backs
