The biggest reason for my optimism going into 2015 is the front 7. I really think that they have a chance to be great, and I hope they prove me right...

Dammit, I'm feeling a stirring of optimism. That can't be good.

We need some of the young guys to step up at LB. Vann and Stewart are a far cry from what we have seen over the years from our upper classman starting LBs.

We need speed, demon speed. Speed’s what we need; we need greasy, fast speed.

I think Vann is a solid backer, guy plays with a ton of heart. Not afraid to sacrifice himself against much bigger blockers. But I do think they need to give him a breather at times.

Joseph needs to harness some of that ridiculous energy to stay more under control, but I like him too.

It's olb that scares me. Loved watching Luke Carrezola in his limited action. Played with energy and intensity. He comes off as a hard worker, so I think with a year to hit weights, he gets one of the OLB spots.

The question is who gets the other one. Stewart had a very tough 2014.

And I love the defensive front.
