There it is.  What do YOU think, well, you know what is coming!  HERE is what I think!!

Offense - Still one of the best in the NFL!  Disappointment in Eddie Lacy!  Pleasant surprise, Ty Montgomery.  Running backs - VERY AVERAGE.  Wide Receivers, Jordy was back, but will be a year older, Cobb was better, but needs others around him.  Adams rebounded well this year.  Surprise, Geronimo Allison, could be a sleeper.  Janis project should be over, and others are average.  I would call the group AVERAGE.  Tight ends, Jared Cook make us better!  A free agent that MUST be signed.  With him. Slightly ABOVE average.  Offensive line, nice year.  Good protection, running would have been better without the drama this year!  I would rate them slightly ABOVE average.  And, what makes our offense, VERY GOOD?  Someone with the initials - AR!  Let's face it, we are in the middle of the career of one of the best.  This is another time to thank the football gods for Aaron!

Defense - wow!  When you look at these people, NO BODY scares you!  I MEAN NOBODY!  So, is there any free agent or draftee that will start to put fear in other teams?  WE NEED ONE or TWO!
Mike Daniels, still love his edge!  Leads!  Clay Mathews, people must still watch where he lines up!  But, seems to fly around, but MISS more?  Safeties, our strong suit on D. Ha Ha & Morgan.  Corners, our #1 is gone, Shield, and the others, VERY BELOW average, young & may get better?  Linebackers, inside YOUNG!  Outside, Perry made the jump, but is a free agent.  A BELOW average defense,

Special Teams - Crosby, one of the best, Schum, one of the forgettable!

Free Agents to sign - Jared Cook, Nick Perry, TJ Lang.  Try to sign, Micah Hyde, JC Tretter, & Eddie Lacy.
