If I don't see that in 2010, then it will be a sign to me that they're still another year away. And I didn't see that in 2009, obviously, so I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm for 2010 (.500 range has been my 2010 expectation since the Pioli hire was made...)
All I hope for early in the year is that one side of the ball is "fixed" and the other is showing signs of life. I don't think this team is going to be a world-beater in 2010 regardless of who they pickup in the offseason, but they should be more competitive and they should (in a perfect world) be a team nobody wants to play late in the year.
Then again, on paper at least it's an advantageous schedule, so who knows what will happen.

I'm sorry, but if we go D in rounds one and two (with one of the picks in the latter) and we're not VASTLY improved on that side of the ball, I'm going to start clowning our newest head fat man.
