I agree to some extent but I think what makes this offense special is the balance that we can have.
In the run game, Mixon can go from an elusive runner that can make you miss and break off a long run to a banger that will just run defenders over. Now that's not to say that I think some of his runs should just be an attempt to pound the ball and only get three yards a pop, but just saying that, should the situation arise, Mixon can power over them, make them miss, or outrun them.
We know AJ can do it all.
Ross can go deep and outrun anybody but can also be a solid route runner and can just make defenses cover the entire field.
Cody Core is big with good speed and he's dedicated to improve. He can be coached because he gives 100%. You can't teach that.
If Eifert can stay healthy, he's a nightmare for defenses because he's so well-rounded, especially in the red zone.
We also have other pieces that are dangerous.
I just think that we can do so many different things that it's tough for teams to play D against us.
Our line still scares me but apparently has looked pretty good.
The league is moving more towards the pass but most teams don't have as many weapons as us and can't move the ball in as many different ways as us.
It's up to Zampese to use our balance and attack defenses to exploit their weaknesses.
On defense, I completely agree with you, especially in the secondary and I think we can just bring chaos to the field and destroy offenses.
I also think that Geno makes our defense fit in the NFL better than most defenses because how many other teams have tackles that are more productive in rushing the passer than most ends in the league? If we could commit to getting one or two star ends, our defense would be scary.
