Superduperman Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think they'll be ok on defense as long as they stay healthy. Offense is the question, and I'll say again what I said last year: I will believe the OL can be good when I see them being good and not a second before. If the OL isn't improved then they'll be around 6-10 again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need an offensive difference maker to come out - either Kerryon becomes a 1200+ yard back, Golladay is a true no. 1, Hockenson is an 800 yard TE, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionized Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 It’s going to be a lot of 2 TE sets with run run. Throw the ball for a first down. With a handful of shots down field. I think T.J. is going to help out a lot more than some may expect. If we can control the tempo of the game on the offensive side. I think we will do just fine with our top ten defense.

I think we will do just fine with our top ten defense. Fingers crossed. But I agree. Hope we bring the heat on defense like 3/4 of the plays. and we have an offense with lots of nice dump off options. solid maybe even above average possession/red zone threat receiver in Golladay. Now just need a little more production from Marvin Jones and he can take the top off the defense. plus we have some more guys that are speed and can go in the slott and fly down the field. Excited to see the first single back setup with the 3 TE set. Get some play action going it will be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnage84 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 We could see some 13 personnel sets and I believe they've discussed Nauta as a potential H-Back. I saw something about that when Quinn was discussing this pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Nauta is the guy to make that kind of move. Ty Johnson was involved in some plays like that at Maryland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just a predictable joke, not actually calling you out. What about the offense do you see is predictable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
