I'm optimistic about the corners with King and Mabin. I also think Jaleel and Faith will be better than expected as their roles increase. Lomax will be a year more seasoned but the Hawks have to have another safety emerge. I just don't know how much better they can be at linebacker than last year. I'm hoping for a big jump but it's hard to imagine them improving that much. Still envisioning this defense giving up some points. A lot of that can be covered up with a more potent offense. CJ just might be the key in doing that. Don't expect a whole lot from the running game so this team may need to chuck it. Need another receiver to emerge though. USE THE TE's! I've heard Andre Harris has been looking good. Anyway, that's my attempt at trying to be optimistic...Go Hawks
