I'm really not hoping...simply because i HATE that word. It's used around here thousands of times a day "let's hope" "i hope" "hopefully"...all over this board, all the time and i can't stand it. Do you know how many years and how many situations i've read about how someone "hopes" something? 

I'm saying it will take a couple games because ZT said himself that the very first thing the coaching staff will do (today) is sit down together and go over the logistics of how things were done and tweak it from there. It will be a prioritiy and it has to be. If coaches can't communicate with each other and the players throughout the game, nothing will work. 

As far as the game, the route combinations of the receivers was completely different than in the past. I don't know if you noticed but they also went 4 and 5 wide multiple times on the opening drive with Dalton. 

If that is going to be the norm, that combination should allow Dalton to have a career year statistically, as long as most of his weapons stay healthy. What remains to be seen is if he can do it well under the lights and in the playoffs. 

Theoretically it should lead to a big year...BUT with our terrible offensive line, going 5 WR's means you don't have any additional blocking in. Teams are going to blitz us.

AND last year, only Boyd and Green were productive at WR.

I'm not sure 5 WR's gets our best players on the field. I think Mixon, Bernard, and Eifert are all better than our 3rd WR. So going 3-4-5 WR, actually gets some of our talent off the field for less talented players.
