   If the Majik thing comes through!

       Gotta admit, I don't have too much faith in Tony much anywhere. It
       was reported today that he'd be filling in at left tackle for the
       unsigned Ken Ruettgers. I wonder if Mandarich will even start this year.

  Anything is an improvement over Perry Kemp. Hell, I'd rather see Max McGee
  come down from the broadcast booth and play than see Kemp try to blow by a
  super-quick linebacker like Chris Spielman.

    Maybe 6, if he gets a couple lucky deflections.

   Could be. I'd be happy with a repeat performance though.

   Overall, a little too much wishful thinking. They could win 6 or 7
   games if they start off well.
