As our first preseason game is just a few days away, and the fact the offseason thread has devolved into bickering over the precise characterization of Clowney's bust-ness, I think now is as good a time as ever to hit refresh with a new thread.
We've got plenty to be excited about and expectations are high in OB's third season, but there's also a heaping helping of uncertainty for this squad. We're 18-14 under his watch and, if you pay attention to the talking heads, have become somewhat of a trendy pick to do something in the AFC after making the playoffs last season.
Key Player Losses:
QB: Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett
RB: Arian Foster
WR: Nate Washington
OL: Brandon Brooks, Ben Jones
LB: Justin Tuggle
Key Veteran Additions:
QB: Brock Osweiler
RB: Lamar Miller
OL: Tony Bergstrom, Jeff Allen
DB: Antonio Allen
Key Draft Additions:
RB: Tyler Ervin
WR: Will Fuller, Braxton Miller
OL: Nick Martin
Storylines:
With the help of Hopkins, can Osweiler become a consistent starter in this league?
How will the new and young pieces fair in OB's offense?
Can we field a respectable D while the window's open on Watt and Cushing's prime?
Will Clowney stay healthy and finally prove himself to be the freak we thought we drafted?
Just how improved is the rest of the AFC South?
