It was a slight decline for our offense this year in yardage, as they finished 13th in total yards (7th rush, 13th pass) but still managed to finish as the 5th highest scoring team. Weeden had only two bad games of the bunch and I still have confidence that he can win a championship for us. Both LSH and rookie Lyons gave us solid running performances but with LSH in the final year of his contract, he likely won't return. Greg Little was a beast through 10 games before missing the final 6 with an injury. He came back in the playoffs though and was once again dominant. Tenth year left tackle
Joe Thomas was named to the 1st All-Pro team, the third time he's been awarded All-Pro honors in the past four seasons.

The defense bounced back somewhat from an awful year in 2015 as they finished 13th in yards (4th rush, 26th passing) and 8th in scoring. Jamie Collins did a nice job replacing D'Qwell Jackson. Our pass coverage struggled once again but the pass rush bounced back as we tied for the league lead in sacks with 55. Linebacker
Jabaal Sheard led the way, finishing second in the NFL with 14 sacks and was named a 1st team All-Pro and Defensive Player of the Year for his play. DT
Phillip Taylor had a bounce back year and was also named a 1st team All-Pro. CB Leon McFadden (56/56) is scheduled to hit free agency and despite his high ratings, he's missed 20 games the past three seasons and I don't see him returning.
