The reason I'm optimistic, this year, is because Tom Thayer is finally optimistic. He hasn't been this optimistic since 05. The reason for this optimism is surprising on one end and quite simple on the other. Simple reason: Ben Johnson. Thayer is the insider that knows what a solid program looks like and he claims to have seen none better than what BJ has established.(I believe him). Combine all that with year two of the offense and magic may become reality. Referencing everything from huddle control to the LOS, Caleb and the returning vets are in sync, while having the ability to correct the youngsters in real time. That will pay big dividends on penalty reduction and play success. Penalties play a huge role as a drive killer for various reasons, from down and distance to rhythm to psychological let down. Plus, it gives the defense a chance to regroup and gain positivity. My expectation for this offense is to improve in yards, points, penalties and TOP. The surprising reason for optimism is the additions to the DL. He says that they are all explosive off the ball and have sideline to sideline motors. At this point, I'll add my optimism. Tremaine Edmunds is no longer on the roster. I'm not calling him a bad football player. He simply didn't fit. All of our current Lb's are "hat in the hole" guys. If you know, you know. An improved run defense will be such an important factor in helping the pass rush. It's hard to measure how much the other team will be off the field but they'll need to convert on third and longer than last year. I'm not stating the D is going to be good and neither is Thayer. What I will say, is that I believe it will be solid enough to win. And remember, the trade deadline can sometimes throw a team over the top.

I like vitamin P...

I'm not thinking overhaul either. Definitely, reinvestment with early draft capital. Keep those young DL coming in until it becomes dominant. The back seven will not matter as much as a result.

I'm 95% Kromah makes the 53.

This all reminds me of Joe Pesci in Goodfellas...

I explained it to you, so you must be hard-headed or butt hurt. I've both played this technique and coached it. Go change your tampon.

He may get some safety help, but he damn sure isn't getting LT help. Best bet is a 4th round pick

Again, a chip is a chip. If the tackle knows a chip is coming. He simply sets his block in a way that allows the TE or RB to get a piece. IE: it doesn't matter what the tackles weakness is. All-22 doesn't explain this?

A chip is a chip. It doesn't help one more than the other. All-22 should have explained that.

I didn't say that because we need guard help. Theo seems like he would be a good one and he sucks at tackle.

Benedet needs to spend time at G.

LT watch. We didn't have yesterday. Braxton would set nicely then not adjust. He was worse than I'd ever seen him. You can tell that he doesn't love what he does. Theo gave more effort, but was also terrible. I would be interested to see PFF grades on them. My desire, at this point, is that they don't rush Ozzy back and risk his health. Hoping for a good performance from one of them next week.

You don't see it. You, literally, suggested that if everyone that cares to post on this site regularly should buy the all-22. Maybe if we all had it we would agree more. Since you're the the only one that has it, you're suggesting that we get on your level in order for us all to agree. You're subtle arrogance doesn't go unnoticed to educated readers. I don't get angry or butthurt like you do. I simply call it and you, as I see it and you. When I'm being a dick, I do not hide it. I'll end with, I like you just fine and enjoy your insight. I'll continue to bust your balls when I feel like it. BOHICA...🥂

I'm not angry. I simply find you comical.

Same as the above. Thanks Pix
