joej, I have no doubt our defense is good. It can be dominant if Peppers returns to 100% and our offense actually stays on the field beyond 3 and out. I agree that the running game will be good. Green, Isaac and Smith were all ranked among the top 10 RBs in the nation in high school. Johnson is also solid. It all depends on how well Harbaugh can develop the QBs (and do not underestimate Speight) and how well Drevno develops the OL. All depends on those two positions. If we have a semblance of a passing game, which we haven’t since 2007, and if our OL can function adequately, we will have a good-great season.
