The difference Ive seen this year so far is that its not ALL blatantly on the OL. The RB's are missing, Burrow is definitely still getting his mental game back, play design has played a role, etc. This is fixable. I'm not impressed with XSF, or Hopkins either really. I dont know how far our rookies are along, but I think the future is bright with Carmen. I think he can and will be better than XSF.
I think Zac needs to open it up and let this offense be high powered. Look, I was an OL guy in round 1. Sewell? No. I wanted to trade back for Slater, who is looking like a pro bowler so far. But guess what, so is Chase. How long has it been since we had a WR catch 2 long bomb TD's two games in a row?
Things will get better. They have to. I'm worried about Burrow too, but I think the team will rally up and some adjustments will be made, and we will be fine. I am a big on building the trenches, but after two long bombs that we've been missing for waaay too long now, I got one thing to say...
I'll be wearing this at one of the games this season. Got my tickets and I'm very excited to make the road trip to support this team and help rule the jungle. That's all :
Great post. Love it. I am an optimist. Things will be better. I wanted Slater or Chase. I was 50/50 on the pick. Chase is awesome so we can’t complain there but Football can be compared to building a house. You have to start with the foundation before the roof. In football the trenches are the foundation. Give the young guys a try on the line. Who Dey.
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have. Vince Lombardi
