Central is a very good defensive team. I don't think they will be as good as last year. JMO. Russell is much better on the offensive side of the ball. The entire backfield runs sub 4.6. The blocking so far this year has been much improved.

Why don't you feel Central will be better on defense? They return 5 legit D-1 prospects, they only lost 4 defensive starters from last season and the only one that seemingly will be hard to replace is their DT Wadlington...all accounts are that Central may have one of the top 3 or 4 defensive teams regardless of class.

4.6 forty's doesn't mean much when the defensive line is in the backfield when the ball is hiked, and if you break through the D-line your LB's and Secondary all run 4.5's.
