I think with TB out, the weakness is dependent on someone exploiting Deluca's inexperience. With saying that he has knocked two RB out of a game for a series. so there is that...kid can hit and the two INT.
BTW, TB was/is my favorite player that kid is tough tough tough much respect!
As far as drop off is concerned, I am worried about Franloff(SP) and the rotation
