If that O line can be like it was 2 years ago then we could have a very good year. Protection for the QB and holes for the running game.
A bit concerned about the DBs.

DBs are a strength imo.
Fassitt looked solid when he was healthy last year, Tisdale was inconsistent but is a game changer, takes chances. Add in Smith and Raymond at halfback who were couple of our best players last year. Looks like we'll be going with a Canadian safety this year in Fraser who imo is ready. Not a worry i think. Also couple of these new recruits will shine but most jobs in the secondary are locked up by good players.
The d-line needs a boost though. Mace, hopefully is healthy and play up to his potential, Bulcke will also need to step up. Hughes is good for pass rush but he can only do so much. Really need someone opposite Hughes to pass rush.
The LBs are a mystery right now. They want Morley playing SAM, he showed well last year. McCune/Simpson/Lobendahn will compete for the middle. Not sure who'll play weakside, Jackson is coming back but he looked really lost last year. Will is definitely up for grabs for the newcomers.
So 3 Canadians on the D side, 2 tackles and a safety. Positions up for grab MLB, DE, Will. But who knows someone might've pulled a "Labinjo" in the off-season and might end up losing their starting spot.
