He sounds intelligent and the players definitely looked more coordinated in spring. That's an encouraging sign. He's definitely a concern and it may take a few games for his scheme to mesh well with players. That's what I'm worried about how long will it take for them to feel comfortable?

On the optimistic side...it can only go up after Bo. There's no way they can be worse than last year. Chip Kelly's offensive pacing will be an excellent first game test for our defense.

Yep. Good stuff. Can't downplay Kelly and the time for them to mesh. Gotta hope that Harris/Ward/Major are up to the task. If we see Ryan/Davis/Langlois in that game it will mean they are for real studs that are getting snaps in situations where their strengths can shine---or one of the first three dudes has blown too many assignments. Let's hope it's the first part!
