As we close in on the beginning of the season I find myself some what optimistic and find it interesting that there seems to be a lot fewer people talking doom and gloom this year. Not that that is a bad thing.
Despite my concerns about this team being better than what they were at the end of last season, they still remain. I support Geno and my only expectation is for him to keep doing what he did last year. He averaged 2 TD's a game and that clearly isn't enough to beat teams with good offenses.
We don't have a high scoring QB so we are going to need 2 things to happen. Our RB's have to produce at Marshawn levels and our defense has to defend, create turnovers and score points. I love our winning attitude and expect it. But if either one of these areas falter, we can't rely on our QB to get it done.
This team shares a lot of similar characteristics as the 2013 squad except now we have a limited passing QB instead of a limited running QB. Offensively, I see this as an improvement because our offensive line has to be good to protect Geno which should also improve our run game. I have high hopes for our defense but replicating the LOB is a lot to ask.
