What are your expectations for a new coach and new coaching staff who is inheriting 2 HOF players in Green and Geno. They also have a veteran QB who is solid and cap friendly.
So, one year from today, what record and or results makes you happy?
2 years from now?
3 years from now?
Eh, I still don't think next year will be too good.
We now have (assuming Big Ben stays for next year) arguably the worst QB in our division. Lamar Jackson MAY be, but I think he can do some things Dalton couldn't, and he's shown some good flashes.
O-line and LBs are still pretty bad, and I don't think it will all be fixed in one year. The more effective one, IMO, would be if we revamp the LB core and get maybe 1 more good O-lineman. We wouldn't be great on O-line, but we can still play good O. With a good LB group, our defense becomes MUCH better. They need to be faster.
It's honestly tough to tell though, because I have no clue what either side of the ball will look like now. I think we will emphasize Mixon a LOT more though, and hopefully focus on becoming a faster defense.
I wouldn't be upset with a losing season though, as long as it's not something horrid like 4-12. Just show some good competitiveness, and progress towards a SB.
