I want to see how well Barwin turns the corner on his pass rush. His background says he's a developmental guy, and most DL's take at least a year to develop. That being said there have been a few rookie splashes; narrowing his focus to rush the QB from the RE may pay off. Connor seems to be a quick learner, and he's got the athleticism and long arms to be an edge speed rusher. Kollar's experience with smaller ends helps as well.
I also think Brown, will get all the practice reps he needs. Some reps against an all around beast like Mario, and some against a speed rusher in Barwin. He should be ready to go by game 1.
