• Can the revamped D stop the run? Generate more turnovers? Improved secondary?
• Can the rookie draft class contribute materially? Can TE Kenyon Sadiq stay healthy and get on the field?
• Will Geno Smith will we get: strong play and playoff games in Seattle, or last year's debacle with the Raiders, 17 INTs on very bad team? Can Geno perform to the level of Aaron Rodgers' last season with the Jets (3,900 yards, 28 TDs)
