try to take the deep explosive plays away like you say. Problem for them is Chase can still break free underneath too. I really
think Hurst and Boyd could have a big year working underneath while Chase and Tee mix it up on the edge and in the Slot at
times. Should be unpredictable now that we have an OL that should be a good run blocking unit and a better pass protecting
unit from a year ago.
Less predictable, yes, but also more efficient. How many times did a penalty put them in 1st and 20? How many poor rush attempts left them in 2nd and 12? They did an amazing job converting those down and distances, but I can't wait to see a 3rd and 2 where they just hand off Mixon behind Cappa and Collins and get an easy 4 yards. Of course, if safeties and LBs start cheating up (I bet we see more hard counts this year) then Joe will play action and throw over them.
They seem to know Joe's superpower is being able to read and diagnose quickly with multiple targets. We will see plenty of empty, or plenty of RBs chip and go out in a pattern.
My biggest concern right now isn't Volson at LG, but the health and ability with next to no hard practice time for Collins.
