aside from this defense learning to tackle and a consistent K thereis rther glaring hole in the offense
namely, no XWR, or rather no true X, at least not on the field, no physically dominant control WR
no Dez, no TO, no Mike Irvin, no Tony Hill
hear me out - this O is at it's core Sid Gillman's play action deep timing system
contrary to the notion it uses the run to set up the pass,
it uses key passes and runs to force the LBs and Ss to guess wrong and create big plays
you have to run to the G-T gap, you have to run wide (stretch and or sweep)
you have to throw WR slants, you have to throw TE dumps, you have hit the 9 ball
the plays feed off each other, or example
if you aren't running slants well the LBs and Ss can just hawk the run, regardless of how many are in the box
if you don't attack the G-T gap the LBs and Ss take away the seem game and kill WRs on crossing patterns ...
and you need a what Sid called a "wild card" ... Dunbar, Pollard, Bush, Kamara ... for screens & reverse
this team has the players to do all of it well, problem is the true X WRs aren't on the field
namely Wilson and Smith
Amari is an awesome all around WR and a legit #1 (most targets), but he nor Gallup or Cobb bring what the likes of Julio Jones or Antonio Bryant force on a defense
Zimmer went after the Boys the same way most DCs would w/o a true X - deep read and run LBs attacking the edge, why not if you don't lineup in run and throw a slant.
