My guess is the new system is designed like the 2016 system. Some say it was dumbed down but it’s just a system to have multiple targets to make more defenders have to cover. Allows to get the ball out fast for a new QB. The KISS method.
Problem they will need to address is in 2016 we had a dominate O-Line and awesome RB or running game to lean on. In 2016 we still had a OC that would abandon the run.
Going into this season we will have good WRs and TEs. Dak has become very good at burning the blitz. He will need to tuck and run when needed. IMO our season will come down to needing a run game. A very good run game. Whether by committee or a bell cow. If we had a new Elliot type RB we would be very hard to beat. But Pollard hasn’t even shown he can be as effective as before after injury and if he is he still is a 12 carry a game back.
In this system the RB will need to be able to block on certain plays or pick up the blitz. If Elliot is healed up and available very cheap then I would take him back. We do have a bruiser and a fast back but can the translate to the NFL. It’s a gamble.
If it works and our Defense is gonna be as good as we think with the addition of DT strength then we will eat teams up. Just shore up the kicking and ST game. We put together a solid team and watch out in the playoffs. We may be able to make it past the first round. It’s set up to make Dak drive the bus.
