Summary
With kickoff about two months away, Jon and Brian break down each position group at this stage of the offseason. Jon assigns a confidence level for each unit and assesses some areas where things seem to be solidified, while also offering up some critical questions that must be answered between now and the opener. They start with the offense at the 8:00 mark, transition to the defense at the 32:00 mark, and finish with some thoughts on special teams and the coaching staff at the 45:30 mark.
