Questions Entering Training Camp

ehinote · 2024-06-20T20:40:36Z

I have to get my last post out regarding questions I have entering training camp. Because once the season starts, I try to just be a fan and remove my “coaching hat.” If I think with my head and not my heart, I feel we have the tools on offense to be a top 10 offense this year. Part of that reasoning is because I feel our offensive system will not just run the ball to say we run the ball. But instead we will run when the defense is giving us good run looks and throw when they give us good pass looks. Not bang our heads against the wall with 1 and 2 yard gains to just say we stuck to it. I think we will have better success when we do run. One, because we will have a combination of running schemes, not just for example… outside zone or duo, but many options. And two, the change of offensive line coaches will help. Our prior OL coaches came with Bruce Arians and they came to first be good pass pro blockers. We haven’t run the ball well since they came with Arians and I think the subtraction of them will be a plus for us. And lastly, the run game will help Baker spread the ball around even more. Evans will thrive in this offense. Godwin will look as close to as good as he was in his prime while playing in the slot. And McMillan and Palmer will find their knitches and be productive as well. I feel our problem unit will be the defense. I’ve put it out there continuously that our outside pass rush has not been addressed and it’s weakness is not something you can hide from a good offensive system. I hear all the talk about the quantity of OLB’s we have on the team, but quantity will not make up for a lack of quality at this position. You still need someone that can consistently bring pressure from the outside when rushing 4 defenders. We have 5 guys that are all about as close in potential as the next guy. No standout. I’m excited to see YaYa’s growth from his rookie year to his 2nd year. But I still feel he’s more of a 4i or 5 technique player. I like our rookie from Alabama, but it’ll take him time to get adjusted. JTS is what JTS has shown us the last 3 years. Ramirez and Watts are just like the UDFA players I hear everyone talk about every offseason. Don’t hold your breath on those 2 being our difference makers. And lastly, I’m worried about our corners. With a healthy Carlton Davis, we were stronger at the position than we are this year. Dean is a fine zone corner. Zion has a lot of potential, but still needs to put it together. And Bryce Hall has barely played the last 2 years and looked like it in minicamp. My heart says we could get as high as 11 wins this year if someone steps up a OLB and we go relatively injury free. My mind tells me we could go as low as 5 or 6 wins, due to our schedule and the types of offenses we will be facing this year.
