Gonna bump this up. Usually I do a post about what I'm looking forward to each season and causes for optimism, but my tank is pretty low right now.
First, Michael putting in this on-field suites and casitas is such a transparent cash grab.
Second, hiding all the players throughout the preseason is good and fine, but it's hard to build up enthusiasm from eight-second highlights of MHJ catching a nine-yard out on air from Cards social/Donnie Durin.
Third, this pass rush could be exceedingly bad. Like, worse than our run defense was last year. We're depending on Xavier Thomas, who had double-digit sacks if you add his last three years in college together (he was in college six years), to add juice to the pass rush.
The front office and coaching staff worked hard to build a foundation that probably has a six-win floor (I've said this many times: winning four games in a season is almost always a choice). But imagining a scenario where this team wins 10 games is exceedingly difficult.
