Wufan I agree toughness could be an issue for the Bears. But Gulley wasn't our toughest player. That was Keith Pickens and it wasn't even close. But it will help that Pickens is on the bench this year. I think he's the type of individual that can help immensely even in that capacity and Lusk was smart enough to recognize that.
And early reviews are that Boone is a tough customer that loves to mix it up and that Gerring isn't the type to back down from anyone either. I agree Tmac is probably a year away but he still should be improved over last year.
We should be even better in 15/16 but I like our chances to be very competitive this year.
