On paper they got younger and faster. I'm more worried about the offensive side. I think Birk's retirement is huge. He was an extremely smart, veteran center who Joe has worked with his whole career. I'm not knocking Gino, its just there's no real game footage to see of him just the useless Cin game last year. Boldin was slow but sure handed, maybe one of the young guys will do good (I'm rooting for Thompson), but I have no faith in Doss or Reed at #3.
