so long as the D stays healthy, we'll be able to keep the other team's points down. My only fear there is it'll go like last year when the D started out pretty good, and then injuries took their toll and we started giving up bigger numbers. With the unexpected SMU win, I have added one win to my preseason prediction of 4 and now think we can win 5.

Martin is a serviceable back when healthy, but he may never be this year. Every other RB who's seen the field is not it.

The more Retzlaff runs, the more fumbles we'll see. Of course, just parking him in the backfield is also not a great option as he's not a great thrower either. He'll fit one pass in a great window, then badly miss the next 4.
