Does anyone have any feel how the lines are coing together for the 2008 season? The reports from Cyclones.com give some insight to the skill players and the DBs and LBs, but not a lot of insight on the OL or the DL.

DLine and D as a whole will be a pleasant surprise IMO.
I think we'll still struggle on offense.

I'd just like to see us score more than last season.

I think we'll still struggle on offense. OL's supposed to be one of our strong points - if that's a struggle we're doomed.

Hope I'm wrong.
The good news is I think our D is going to be much improved.

Not only the big, huge new o-linemen, but Jeremiah Schwartz should help with red zone/short yardage issues.

I agree with you on this, BUT i think our running game will be much improved.. This will translate into more redzone TD's, IMO..
