I just think that Sanchez will be much better with a season under his belt. He really could have used Brunell last year to lean on. But at least he's a Vet that will be able to hold his hand if he should hit stormy waters again this year. Also I think Santonio Holmes is a huge upgrade at the position and if they could get Edwards to hold on to the ball a few times they could really have a very dangerous air attack. Not sure about the running game, Greene showed late that he could be a good back. But who knows how he will take the punishment of an entire season. I do think Tomlinson does have something left in the tank, but all that being said Thomas Jones will be missed. The guy was a warrior and a respected clubhouse guy.
Defensively I would think that they are going to be strong again, that is as long as they stay healthy. You would think that Revis will eventually show up. Not sure when, but most likely by the opener.
I do think Nick Folk could lose them a game or two this year. Jay Feeley was excellent for them last season and Folk is definitely a downtick, so it wouldn't suprise me if someone else was kicking for them late in the season.
By no means do I think they are the 72 Dolphins, but I could see them being 11-5 during the regular season. They really benefit by having the Vikings and Packers having to come to the Swamp.
Once again alot of their success hinges on Sanchez moving forward.
