I am reasonably content we will be ok in the passing game and in stopping the run, Richardson should help our own running game to at least appear to get a lot of yards, even if not through the RB's necessarily. It is the back end coverage i am most worried about and i can see us giving up a ton of passing yardage with long TD's due to broken coverages, because the guys just aren't experienced enough, and maybe in some instances, are not talented enough to match up with the starting WR's of the NFL.

I couldn't agree more, which is why I've been harping about Ballard not learning from his mistakes. The OL last year was a massive shit show of his making. To give him some credit he acknowledged this, but then all he does in the offseason to fix his giant fuck up is add a mid round draft pick as OT. And he did absolutely nothing to improve or add depth at IOL.
