Those 4 will be the keys for how good our offense is, imo. If all 4 are good then our offense will be really good but if they're not then we could struggle. They are all question marks and that is why I believe Carr's ability to elevate their game will be key. He needs to develop a connection with the WRs and keep the defense on their heels to help the o-line. If he can make the defense pay when then attack our line it will slow down the rush. He needs to be willing to take off when the situation presents itself. I was impressed when Mariota last year against the Chargers and Peterman had the offense looking good when he was taking taking off and running. A Gruden offense looks good when a QB is willing to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offense QB: Carr | Mariota | Peterman RB: Jacobs | Drake | Richard FB: Ingold WR: Ruggs | Jones WR: Edwards | Renfrow | Snead TE: Waller | Moreau | Bowers LT: Miller | Parker LG: Incognito | Simpson C : James | Martin RG: Good RT: Leatherwood Defense DE: Crosby | Nassib | Koonce DT: McCoy | Jefferson | Thomas DT: Hankins | Philon DE: Yannick | Ferrell LB: Littleton | Deablo LB: Kwit | Perryman LB: Muse | Morrow* | White* CB: Hayward | Arnette CB: Mullen | Robertson CB: Hobbs | Nixon SS: Abram | Teamer FS: Moehrig | Gillespie There is NO way Perryman is not the starter..if Morrow didn't get hurt Kwit probably would have bee cut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as we've seen with Carr throughout his career he favors guys that he trusts, he'll need to trust Ruggs and Edwards this year. I think James/Leatherwood's ability to run block will also be huge because if they can then we'll likely get Jacobs/Drake a ton of touches and be able to keep defenses guessing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Martin played guard in college and early in his career with the Texans as well so he should provide good depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 we should really add an OLineman. we are 7 deep including Parker and Martin. Simpson looks questionable and Richie can go down at any point. Father Time is undefeated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does that free up cap? Also if the guys on short term IR come back that means we have to cut someone else, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
