Well he was a safety, so more likely he would mimic the other Woodson :P  But I think we all had high hopes for Huff.  He didn't reach the star status that was expected of him, but I will never be mad about picking up a solid starter.

Damn smh man.

Schaub had 5 straight seasons of 90+ passer rating before last year. That's something Brett Favre and Tom Brady have never done.
MJD rushed for over 1300 yards 3 straight seasons before losing the last 2 to foot injuries. He won't be the same back, but I can see him eclipsing 1,000 yards again.
DMC will benefit from only touching the ball 10-13 times per game in a change of pace setting.
James Jones is a possession receiver who high points the ball and fights for it when it's in the air. Haven't had a receiver like that since Tim Brown.
Streater was really impressive last year with Pryor and Flynn throwing the ball, come on... he'll be even better this year.

And honestly, I'm more concerned about our offense than defense. I think our defense will be very much improved, and I'd like to say they'll be near the top-10 by the year's end.

And you're crazy if you think KC and SD are repeating the success they had last year. Neither will make the playoffs.

our corners are very suspect though, idk how well our pass D will be..right now i dont have much faith in them.

I agree and disagree. I think Tarell Brown and Carlos Rogers will be good this year.
But outside of that, who the fuck do we have? I view Hayden as a lost cause TBH.
Although, I have heard that our two rookies, McGill and Dowling, have shown nice flashes in camp. Still, they won't be immediate contributors.

But I agree with you that CB's are definitely our weakest position on defense.





Also here's a nice article on Derek Carr and his preparations

I like that. He's always looking at what he can do better. Always trying to improve.
