1 & 2 - Oher and big Daryl Williams are one and two. If they can anchor the ends of our oline and play well, our oline will be better than most expect, allowing Cam and Stew to have their best year yet.

3) Shaq - Three starting linebackers that can cover? the rest of the NFL better bring their A game, every game.

Artis-Payne. Once Stewart gets his annual case of athlete's foot, jock itch, or menstruation at training camp, he can taking the starting job away from his lazy piano-playing ass.

posts like this show me how little fans truly know of their own team.

Strictly for the 2015 season:

1. Ginn - sorely missed last season

2. Williams - wrong tackle spot but any youth and upside on the line is a plus and if he's as good as Norwell and Turner our line issues are close to solved.

3. Funchess - first legitimate number two receiver since Moose.

Shaq would be on here but I think he's a project that will take time to develop and learn before we really start to see what we have in him. That said, his attitude and the defense around him is ideal for success, unfortunately because our first rounders have been so productive Shaq will probably get labeled a bust if he's not in DROY discussion by Week 8.

funchess = freak of nature

daryl wiliams = mean and nasty RT

oher = potential long term LT

ginn = got our burner returner back

peanut = lots to teach our young DBs + peanut punch

Funchess

Ginn

Trusnik

Now to explain my reasoning. Our defense was a top 5 defense down the stretch last season. We all know the reasons it took a while for them to get to that level, no need to list them.

So although I am excited to see just how good this defense can be with our new pieces, there is NO WAY a defensive player can crack my top 3. Our defense wasn't the problem going into the offseason

1) Ginn

It's very simple, we lost games because of poor returning. We also sorely missed his speed and playmaking ability on offense. Ginn is honestly my number one. I have seen him with Cam already and know the difference he makes in field position, which can turn a game.

*He fills two needs, and we know what we are getting.

2) Funchess

Funchess is a versatile "#2" receiver. He can line up anywhere. His time at TE even allows him to line up in the backfield like Brandon Williams or Brockel has before. So much you can do with this guy. Mismatches all over the field.

The only reason he doesn't beat out Ginn here is because our returning REALLY WAS THAT BAD. I honestly don't remember a time before that I felt sick AFTER our defense made a third down stop...

3) Trusnik

This is pretty self-explanatory I think. Special teams being horrible last year is no secret, but I do believe people are undervaluing a solid STs squad. You can really lose games because of poor play here, no matter how well you play in the other two phases.

I believe we would have played in the NFC championship game last year if we already had these pieces. It was too obvious we were lacking in these areas, but if they can catch on, we won't be anymore.
