I see no reason why their defense wont be somewhat better than last year. I can promise you that any back that thinks a 4.6 will get them past the LB or DBs of Central is really mistaken. It will get them to the line a little quicker but it wont run by any of the LBs or DBs.

Central's top linebacker runs about a 4.85.
If Russell's backs get to the seondary they won't need to run around them. Abrams is even bigger than Central's linebackers.
I feel the same about Belfry, they may not have the speed Russell has, but they are much bigger.

Central very well may dominate, who knows. I just don't see it this year due to the fact that they won't be able to put the points on the board.
