Losing Devin Thomas on O will hurt, but can overcome it because it is a position of strength. We have a good stable of backs. My concern would be the development of the offensive line. Hoyer should be smarter in year 2.

You're right -- we're "only" losing Saint-Dic (stats speak for themselves), Baldwin (best defensive player on the team), Davis (at times a DE), Thornhill (not for talent, but experience), Tabachnick (laugh if you must, but he was
huge the last two games), Key (captain, emotional leader) and Warrick (heavy hitter, but probably the most replaceable). Why wouldn't the D be significantly better?
