I will say, it's going to take a creative playcaller to properly utilize our three receivers. It's easier said than done. You've got 3 guys, all of which are capable of putting up monster seasons. Figuring out how to spread the ball around and to get these guys in the position to exploit coverages and mismatches is going to be a challenge. I hope Taylor is up for it, because it would be a damn shame to waste such a tremendous group with a playcaller who can't get everything out of them.
Too often in the past, I've felt like we were just getting by on offense because we had talented players. We didn't really have creative play callers putting us in position to truly be dominant with those talented players.
IMO, this is a big reason why our offense sputtered so much in the playoffs. Everyone in the playoffs has talent. You need talent and excellent strategy to be a real contender. Otherwise, we'll see Chase and Higgins disappear in big games like Green and Chad often did.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
