In preseason, we have 3 of our 7 LBs listed as “out” and I have to make my first player sacrifice to remain legal. DE Lorenzo Campbell is moved to MLB to accommodate the shortage – it isn’t terrible (he was a LB before I moved him to DE as a rookie) but he is not much of a player after the move. Still might be good enough to start for us, which is more an indictment of us than a praising if him. (Perennial tackles leader Zack Swift will hopefully be available a couple games into the season, after recovering from a concussion)

So, we really, really struggle through a ton of injuries – we even have to shuttle Lo Campbell back to DE to cover over a shortage there – and we manage to field our starting two wide receivers for only three of our 16 games. This really bodes poorly, and whatever we had going on offense last year is clearly mostly gone this year. We are a strong rushing team, posting nearly 5 yards a carry, but we can’t pass the ball without our total personnel out there, and slipped all the way down to 6 yards an attempt on that side – just terrible. We also suddenly became a turnover machine, with Mayhem causing…well…mayhem out there with his 21 picks.
This team really isn’t progressing all that much. I though last season it was coming together, but this year we didn’t get anywhere. 5 wins a year isn’t really responding to the “challenge” here – especially as I read other people writing about their frustrations trying to win the championship game in their first few seasons and everything. Alas.
