Schotty wants to run the ball and have a balanced attack. I don't believe there is a CB1/CB2 duo that will be able to shut down CeeDee and Pickens. Dak needs to have time to throw to them.
However, I'm worried about Guyton and Steele's pass pro.
Enter in 12 personnel. I don't see Ferguson as a good run blocker, but Schoon (250lbs) and Spann-Ford (270lbs) should be.
I can also see them being used to chip elite edges to help out Guyton and Steele in the passing game.
My guess is that all 3 of these TEs will make the 53.
Looking for a bounce back year from Ferguson in his contract year. With the attention CeeDee and Pickens will get he should feast.
For one I wouldn't worry about what happened last year and worry about what might happen this year just let the thing play out and we get to watch it and be entertained..
Yes, you would have been blind to not see the fact that our weaknesses was on the outside, it was twofold;
I don't know how many penalties are tackles got let alone our tight ends were holding all the time, they couldn't block, that went on all last year and so usually what you try to do is cover up your weakest tackle with a tight end and get help over there and they were just as bad there's a reason Mike mccarthy's gone, there's a reason this entire coaching staff outside of Brian Schottenheimer is absolutely gone...
they're rebooting the schemes and the vision,
so I'm not worried about it what personnel they run ,here's the thing execute I don't care what's called it needs to execute, there's a lot of blame can go around for last year but we saw a lot of this in 2020 it was unstable... we had all the injuries, no run game, we lost Prescott we had the whole thing it was exactly the same...
If I'm on the oppositions defense I don't care what Pickens and CD Lamb appeared to look like I'm still going to test the old philosophy you're going to do what you can to stop the run at all costs and you're going to force Prescott and this offense to prove they can be dangerous in the run game if they can block it up long enough.... They're not going to just look at what we have on the roster and just like go into past coverage mode every play they're going to test the team by stopping the run and forcing them to throw and we're going to need to throw them recently in their backing off the run... The problem with the line was you can't establish a run game it was too easy to stop the run therefore they played a lot of zone a lot of coverage and they really made it like throwing through a minefield everyone said it's Prescott can't throw against zone coverage well not many quarterbacks came when you have pretty much everybody out in coverage if you could use a 4 man line to get pressure and stop the run on the way to the quarterback,,,
That's a huge problem it was apparent to everybody we met that that's what you could do if you had a pretty good defensive line you can handle our offensive line stop the run and get to the quarterback with four guys I'm not saying that was every game on every snap but if you were strong enough up front you could shut down the run on the way the quarterback he was that easy...
And we bounced back in 2021, and I believe we'll bounce back in 2024... It's why I watch games i'm not worried about what may or may not happen or what happened a year before because every year's a new year it's a one off every game is different during the year a lot of you guys just overly focus on stuff just let's see how it plays out that's the fun part of sports you don't really know the outcome it's the ultimate reality TV show...
