It will be interesting to watch recruiting the next couple of years and to see how much bigger we get. As much as we all love Lavonte, we will probably never go after a LB that small again. TE's and backs will probably get bigger as well. Team depth will be more important as well and getting that depth on the field, something I think we needed more of this year.

 

Honestly, I have no problem with 20-7 football. To me that is what football is all about, time of possession and controlling the game. I'd take that any day over 66-42 games. If I want that, I will watch the NBA.
