If everyone stays healthy, this offence could put record-breaking numbers. WOW! You still hafta think some of those o-linemen will be used to improve the defence. I like it!

Excuse me if i don't celebrate the return of Wes Cates. The guy is washed up. He was terrible last year. He's lost a step. Why are we keeping him when we have Charles, Dorsey and Foord. This signing does not excite me at all.
