Ben...healthy our D is going to be sick...and I mean sick....lol.

Seriously, the addition of Timmons and Woodley will bring a better pass rush which will really help our secondary. If our D stays healthy it will be top 3 in the NFL.

The true question mark is certainly our Oline. If our Oline can just play as an average line...and we stay healthy...the Steelers will be making a serious run at another SB.

I agree with most of this, but, to be an effective starter, Timmons has a lot to prove in the way of toughness. Last year, on a few occassions, I saw him run out of his lane on kick coverage to avoid a larger blocker or a wedge. That is simply a punk move and is inexcusable. As soon as I see him meet a FB in the hole at full speed (even if he loses the battle) I'll feel a lot better. But, if he bales, I will have very serious doubts about this kid. It will be very interesting to see the difference in his aggressiveness this year. He does look like he has bulked up a little. Where is the freakin' preseason already!!!

Well take this for what it's worth but they cut our back up running back and kept Russell. That certainly doesn't scream..."we don't like Russell" to me. They must think Russell is at least better than Davenport.

I personally think it screams, "Behind FWP we have zero proven guys...and the ONE proven guy we do have...Najeh Davenport? He's proven he sucks and cant handle the workload if FWP went down again...so lets cut him and see what we have with everyone else." That's what it says to me. But who knows...
