- Several very good MD teams had screws to tighten, entering BIG play.
- MD teams often make big improvements, right about now.
- This team is built for Nov winning. We shouldn't overlook that approach.
- Two dynamics, in terms of improvement:
- Proven players needing to be a bit better and/or get healthy: OL, QB, TE, K. (NOT saying they've played poorly, just haven't seen their considerable A game.)
- Unproven players need to rise: S, CB
- I also think some questions are being positively answered, too:
- LB replacements for Ed Davis.
- Punting, Burbridge, RB.
- Cox at corner.
1). Health. Players returning to full strength, avoiding other key losses.
2). Montae improving at one of the S slots.
3). Darian Hicks. Can he be a winning performer, that we've seen flashes from?
Aside from health, is Montae the key to the whole enchilada?
