Right now I have no worries because until we see the guys in training camp and even more so in preseason games, we really have no idea what we have. Every year, the NFL is nothing but an endless bundle of surprises, and I'm sure this year will be no exception. Heck, the 10-0 Packers once lost to the 0-10 Colts, so you never know what will happen.

My biggest worry is Brett embarrassing us as a Viking twice this year... lol, ok i lied right there.

Probably that the defense wont be ready as far as the new scheme. I'm wondering how we'll do with zone coverage... But I'm sure Capers will work the 3-4 in gradually and our guys aren't gonna be totally out of their element.

injuries, especially major ones.

B-I-N-G-O

The run game, though I'm not sure I'd call it a worry. The last two years the run game has started slow. In '07 it was because we had a revolving door at RB and in '08 it was because of injuries. However, whenever we have been able to get our run game running at 100% (think against Chicago at home last year or the Seahawks in the playoffs) we've been a dominant team. I think getting our run game started early will be the key to success this year.

Our defense's ability to make big plays when they are needed. It was something we had in 2007 and I hope it comes back.

O-line!

DAmn on the 2nd page and still no mention of Pad level, thats a worry of mine. I guess MM knows about it, but i don't think he is worried because its always a good excuse after a loss lol 😛

Worry is probably too strong of a word... of all the years of Ted being here, this is probably my most comfortable one.

But there are a few areas that I have concerns on paper, and defense minus the defensive line isn't one of them. Why? Because of Dom's track record of having a defense ready to go in it first year.

My concern on the Dline is depth to injury.. will Jenkins be completely ready for the grind of the season? Will Harrell be able to contribute? Where will Jolly's status be for the season? Can Monty really man the DE spot in a 3-4? Will Raji make an impact his rookie season? Can Pickett really hold down the nose?

I am very comfortable with the offense on paper, minus you guessed it, depth along the offensive line, particularly the tackles.

Lang to me, very well will walk into camp ready to compete for a starting spot. We have a couple of other guard/center options to shore up the interior at least in the starting capacity.. Colledge should be able to anchor the right tackle and squeeze another year out of Clifton (Probably his last at the current salary). Sorry I don't have the confidence in Moll, Breno, Barbre as stepping in and making a big splash for us. Actually Breno is a wild card type.. if his technique can catch up with his fire, he might step it up.

Speaking of wild cards is this kid Meredith and the kid from Maryland, Randolf. Meredith might be a little green yet, or he may come in and show a ton.

Reading on Randolf.. he speaks of developmental type player with a ton of upside.. not ready for the big show this year.. but one never knows.

So.. in a nutshell the lines.. my concerns on paper today.

You think he'll play RT?

I hope so and Lang goes to LG.
