The receivers we have added are the type Schotty needs for his offense, bigger and have certain talents.
The new Defenders are hedge bets on making sure we have depth for Earl trade and for back up for McDougald as well, along with replacement for Kam and were always looking for Special teams help. I doubt many of these have much in guarantees in their contracts. Dickson is a absolute need for blocking and catching TE, Schotty uses the TE a lot and many times has duel TE sets, we have Vannett who has played and Swoopes, 3 years 14 mil for a starter at TE that is proven durable and productive isn't bad considering the 10 mil plus we paid for Graham a year that we didn't use correctly.
We have not hit the lineman hard as of yet and may not if the new O line Coach thinks it's a technique training issue with many of these guys, we heard a lot about base and reaching and over extending from guys watching them play. If the can correct those things in OTA's and training camp we may be heading back towards better O line play, we know they have a high athletic score almost across the board. One can hope here, I am not going to say we can't get any worse because we did last year. I can just hope for better.
We have also not addressed RB, I think we will see more guys brought in there, Davis is out looking around as is Rawls. They may be comparing offers and could still see one or both back, there isn't a whole lot of affordable guys out there for the relief roll, we also have three guys still here in McKissic, Prosise, and Carson. We need a good FB and a thumper physical back still. Prosise and McKissic performed the same roll last year, if both healthy I would think we see them used a bit different in the new offense. Or one on standby which would be a waste.
