There's no question Tucker is legit. It's clear that Grizz is going to use him more that Coen did. Our ground game should be in the 2700 yards range for the season. We will wear you out through the air as well. I see Grizz's offense similar to Coens just slightly more cunning and physical.
I definitely hope you're right and I am also a fan of Tucker
in today's Fab 5 SR says that Grizz wants to add more depth to the routes. Interesting to me because Grizz was part of a great 3rd down conversion rate that was partially due to short, high percentage passing
exciting season ahead

Irving and Tucker carries should make up 50% of the offense. This was what the 14-2 2006 Chargers did with Tomlinson and Turner. Despite having a young Rivers, Gates and VJ they were 25th in pass attempts and 2nd in rush attempts. Last year Coen was throwing just to throw. And the elephant in the room is Baker led the league in both INTs and fumbles despite the Bucs OL being #1 in pass block efficiency. We got away from the run for no reason at Carolina, vs LV, at Dallas, vs NO. Baker starts turning it over, now we're in dog fights with garbage teams instead of just running downhill on them with Buck and Tuck. The sweet spot for this offense is Baker having 27-33 attempts per game and Irving and Tucker each getting about 15 carries.

We will see if that happens this season
I'm all for giving Tucker a few more looks but you do understand his stats will look WILDLY different with a larger sample size, yes?
I think most here are for Tucker getting more looks and assume everyone hopes he develops into a full RB
Yeah, but those receivers tho…
Lots of casuals on here that don’t realize where Sean Tucker was in his era of college football prior to a devastating injury.
If we run him more he will have a ton of success in this offense. Is he better than Bucky and White?? Not according to our coaching staff but, he would do damage if given the opportunity. I think Grizz likes what he brings to the team and we will see more of him.
It’s like with the receivers. People wanting Mekka to be WR3 even though he hasn’t played a down yet and McMillan earned that slot last season filling in quite nicely when Evan’s and Godwin were out. Who cares how we succeed, we have all the elements to be a brutally tough offense for anyone we face.

This is why the gutless turd has dodged MULTIPLE posts of mine regarding EPA.

Yeah. Great receiver room (especially when Godwin comes back).
That being said, hope Grizz finds the same balance that Liam did last year (between run/pass ratio).

The combination of his skill set and OL would still have his ypc above 5
You know, we added one [running back] this year, he’s probably going to turn a lot of heads in preseason,” Licht told the Pewter Report podcast. “Josh Williams, he’s been really, really good. Smart, real twitchy, quick, catches with his hands well, very smooth and understands protections. So it’s going to be fun to watch this preseason.”
