For 2024: A New Identity on Offense?

[The D.O.Z.]

I don't think JB9 focuses on WR more than TE. I think the play calling on the sidelines and up in the booth does though. JB9 will find you if you are open, no matter what position the receiving player is playing. We saw him hitting Uzo and Hurst no problem in years past, he used Sample and Hudson this year when needed. The targets are there to be had, but fielding 11 personnel most of the time, of course the WR are the primary targets and will get the lion's share of the catches. What's going to be interesting THIS off-season is if we lose Tee and Boyd. Does Zac revamp his offense to accommodate? Nothing from Jones leads me to believe he's Boyd's replacement in waiting and Iosivas showed some promise but can't be counted on to be WR2 quite yet. If Tee and Boyd walk, do we replace them with vet FAs? I don't see them drafting WR high, seeing as we double dipped last year and probably want to give THOSE guys every opportunity to play. Do we draft a TE and start using more 2TE sets with guys like Hudson and Sample? For a team struggling with running the football, I would think morphing the offense to use more 2TE sets and schemes would be a huge boon to this offense. How many times did Tee go out with a hamstring injury this year? Or dehydration? How many times has Boyd disappeared in games where we absolutely needed him? With those two either out or playing poorly, our offense went to crap.

I would really like to see them do what Buffalo did this year when they drafted Kincaid. Their offense became far less predictable and their running game took off. James Cook looks real good running behind that line and 2TEs.
