Belfry's defense will be the biggest mitigating factor as too how far the go in 2018. There are huge holes that have to be addressed, and whether or not the pieces are they remains to be seen.

The D-Line HAS to get bigger and stronger than last season. Baisden and Barker will both help tremendously up front. I still think that Lawson should be seriously considered for a 3 technique on the D-Line. As much depth as we have on the O-Line, I believe we may be better served. No doubt, the LB position will take a huge blow with the departure of Wellman. The pieces are there...but they're gonna need time to adjust.....which makes the D-Line much more important in 2018. Got to keep the LB"s free to read and react.

IMO, Varney's departure is much bigger than people think. He usually shut down one side of the field himself with this athleticism. Belfry has a lot of work to do in the secondary.

Way to early for predictions. This team will need the whole season IMO, to get ready for November.
