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.

We lose way to much. The only D unit that should be improved is DB's. I think if the DL can maintain what we did this season that’s a big victory, but I don't think they will. They were great this season, I expect them to be solid next season. The LB's should be similar to this season. We have MAC talent at the middle linebacker spot, and asking a true freshman to walk in and be the leader of the LB core is asking a lot. We are way to thin at LB.
We lose a ton on the other side of the ball. QB is the unit not losing anyone and Hoyer is still not consistent enough to win 8 games with decreased talent to work with. I think 6-6 is realistic, 7-5 would be a successful season.
