That's a strong testament to our young players stepping up and the coaching staff getting the team turned around.We are set up to be a very good team next season. This will be the best returning defense we have had in years.  Shields now looks like a true shut down corner and there's plenty of other young defenders who will only get better. Shields and Randall is going to be a very good combo.  Jake Ryan showed last night he can be an ILB we need in the run game.  I agree with the poster above that we need a dime LB for coverage situations.Offensively, simply returning Jordy and Ty will make a huge difference.  I see no reason why we won't rebound to being one of the best offenses in the league next season. Plus with Janis and Abby showing they can play, we could be back to having five deep at WR like we had a few years ago.  We aren't going to lose many guys to FA.Of course, there probably will be an injury or two to key guys, but next year is looking good.</blockquote>
