If Buckner can reestablish himself as a threat inside Tackle, they have a couple of advantages over last season. First, with two pro bowl quality Corners, there’s a greater opportunity for coverage sacks. Second, Anarumo can begin to run some exotic blitz schemes, confident that the back end of the D won’t collapse.
Also, in obvious passing situations, when you bring in extra pass rushers, I have a lot more confidence in Key, Curry and Gumbs than i did in Paye, Lewis and Ebukam.

Man, I hope you're right. One thing that the national sports media doesn't realize is, a bone headed WR, who shall remain nameless, cost us two TD's and a win in the Rams game. The injury to Schrader and the subsequent signing of Badgley was disastrous. The injuries in the secondary decimated the pass defense. As well as your accurate assessment of the loss of Buck.
The injuries to Daniel Jones, were just the straw that broke the camels back.
