We will have a 900 yard rusher and Fluker will be healthy all year. Power run blocking and RW's chip renewed. Jaron and Ed Dickson....are you kidding me? Breakout performances.
Bobby and Wags and crew......
All this hand wringing! On paper lots of improved teams that havent won jack.
More people back on the bandwagon when the offense grows through the season.
Keyword....blocking.......explosive........getting turnovers......completing drives. Kicker blah blah

If you take a 4-12 team to the playoffs the following year then you have a good shot at it. We were 9-7 last year so I don't think there's enough room to "improve" for Pete.

Lol. Fans have absolutely nothing to do with it. Players dont stay 'loyal' because of money.
chris98251 wrote:Wonder why players don't stay "loyal" ?
Because at some point they are done being happy to just be in the league and figure out it's a business and that their job is one that has a high turnover, subject to injury and they can't play for ever. Getting paid while they can still play becomes more important then loyalty to a team or it's fans. If they can have both great, that rarely happens these days though.

I hope I am wrong. But I am not going to be.
Have fun being an optimist.

Our entire tactic of keeping the game close for 3 quarters so Russ can win it in the 4th is out the window.
Our defense can no longer shut the door (or try) for 3 quarters while the offense figures it out. We have less of a pass rush now as some key people in our DL that get pressures are gone. We lost our lockdown CB on one side and we might lose our FS that plays centerfield for us.
In addition, the offense lost a ton of TDs. We really have Baldwin and who the hell cares as our WR corps. And all these guys have adjust to a new offense being brought in.
So the offense is going to have to score more to make up for the increased scoring our defense gives up. That would be a tall order for even a very good offense. But our offense has issues up and down the line, little to no RB and one of the weakest WR groups I have seen in a while. We have Baldwin and Lockett, and Lockett has never been himself since the injury.
We lost Willson AND Graham, and replaced our TE with some average guy from Carolina.
Maybe a year of hard work can reorg this offense into something at least productive but with a new OC and a roster that scares nobody? That is a tall tall order.
A few decent drafts can potentially rearm this offense but right now it isn't formidable at all and combining that with a weakened defense seems like a big obstacle to overcome in a Year 1 revamping of this magnitude.
It won't be a garbage team at all but I think playoffs is almost beyond optimistic at this point. Maybe a wildcard game, but I don't really even think that should be an expectation considering the massive losses/changes and issues this team faces.
