Team Structure

[*SHRacerX*]

Logically, most would say "balanced", but I chose high-powered offense because I feel the league is slanted that way. A lot of people will say "Look at Tampa!" and that is a valid point, but they already had a stellar defense. All they needed was a savvy QB and a couple weapons on offense and it clicked. They ended up getting the GOAT and a resurgent Gronk. Perfect storm for them.

If you have a really high-powered offense, you can turn your defense loose with relentless pass rush. I think of those Manning-led teams and the best Patriot teams. Their defenses rarely had to try and stop the run because their first couple scripted drives would put teams behind.

I would do what the Bengals have basically done (Did I really just say that?): Build a high-powered, young offense and then try to get a couple playmakers on defense to create some turnovers and big plays. What I think they are lacking is an elite pass rusher (Could it be Ossai?) and a leader in the middle of the LB corps. Maybe that can be Wilson.

If this offense stays healthy, and guys like Ossai, Hendrickson, and Wilson really shine, this team could be dangerous.
