Pete likes to pass believe it but he isn't Chip Kelly and understands control of the time clock. But never fool yourself if Pete has the weapons he'd totally go with a pass heavy offense if that's where the talent lies.DavidSeven":24lxuptz said:I think if we can gain yards and score points in power, then we'll run a lot of power. Of course, it's nice to have an option to motion your TE or RB, but those concepts have existed since day 1 with Lynch and Zach. Marshawn was a very skilled receiver. Zach was a plodder, but he was game-athletic and had soft hands.
Vannett strikes me as a Zach Miller prototype; Procise is here to replace Marshawn's receiving and Pete's always been a fan of dynamic RB/WR hybrids (see: Reggie Bush, Percy Harvin, even Golden Tate to an extent). Not sure this signals a new era of Chip Kelly football. These two prospects fit within types that Pete has liked in the past.
That's said, it's nice to have options. Our protection, our lack thereof, may force our hand once again.
But make no mistake, this draft was a lot about getting our bully-swagger back. That's power football.
He'd prefer balance where Wilson is passing 30-35 passes minimum a game even though he and every NFL fan knows he could be the actual fulcrum of the offense. Pete needs a year or two more to accept what the offense will be if he actually let's Wilson do his thing.
