Still too many question marks

Carlisle is going to look back at this article at the end of the season and say "what the hell was I thinking!"

My exact thought!

I don't think that he's that far off. Some things like Chris Brown and Torresat fullback are big question marks. And not having Broome back until July will hurt. But I'm not sure exactly how much depth RSL lacks when compared to other MLS teams. They do have Talley and Cabrera to fill in. Last year, we didn't have that luxury. If Pope or Dunseth was out, it was guys like Akwari that got the call.

And the other issue I take is listing Tiger as a key loss. I'd somewhat disagree with Clint but at least one cna point to the potential talent in that case. I loved Tiger and he will be missed. But he's not a key loss. But then again, Carlisle seems to list most players picked up in the off-season as key additions. Attiba and Jimenez are good finds but if they're key additions I think the bar's been lowered to much when it comes to what constitues "key".
