Couple that with Charles not yet being back up to100% and our lack of a vertical passing threat and opposing defenses will have an easier time slowing down the run and our offense as a whole. At least for the first half of the season anyway until Charles gets the rust worked off and returns to form. Hope the hell I am proven wrong but just what I see right now.

How can you "see" anything when the team hasn't hit the field?
This defense was built around the talents of Eric Berry last year. With the early losses of Moeaki and Charles (along with lessor talented players), the weak play of the offensive, etc., expecting the team to look anything like they did early last year is silly.
Once Romeo took over, the team looked like a TEAM for the first time in years. The offseason additions should push this team further forward, especially if the ACL Team comes back even at 90%. Boss, Elam, Gray and Hillis are excellent insurance.
This team won 7 games last year with Todd "The Hobo" Hailey and Tyler Palko at the helm. How anyone expects them to win less than 8 games, even with Cassel, is beyond me. This team is ****ing loaded (outside of QB).
