The only position you could even begin to argue that we aren't better than last year is DT and that is simply on the basis that we haven't seen Adams take that next step and Swain and Russell are unknowns at this point. But the improvements at every other position are undeniable and the improvements in the coaching ranks will only amplify the personnel upgrades.
