The whole schedule is a major step up from last year. One thing today showed, Edmunds and Milano are key cogs in this defense. Without them we are going to have to win shootouts on a weekly basis. Allen has taken a major step forward and the kid is on fire right now, but I still get nervous thinking about having to win shootouts against teams like the Chiefs. I think we can hang with anyone in the NFL, I just like our chances better with our starting LB group on the field.
