It really all hinges on Darnold. If McCaffrey stays healthy and the running game is strong, that should open up a lot of play action and "safe" chances for Darnold to play safe football. He'll need to take risks down field, that's why they acquired him over Bridgewater, but those chances are meant to be risky.

I've been thinking about this.  Our YBC dropped off a cliff last season.   We had been top of the league for years all the way to 2019.  Then in 2020 we were bottom of the league.

Was it the new scheme, oline performance, Davis run path choices, or some combination?

If it was oline, or scheme, we may have a problem.

Anything less than 30 tds is a significant downgrade from Watson 

and if Darnold doesn’t clean up his mistakes he’s as good as gone

sorry but that’s the way the cookie crumbles, especially with this regime

Would like to add that I’m very excited about this defense flying around 

How do we downgrade from a player on another team?

He broke 30 once. His career high is 33. He typically throws mid 20s.

Idk what the time table is for the deshaun watson situation but he might still end up here

Was basically a done deal before the news broke

This team with him at the helm is an actual Super Bowl contender

Say what?

Bump. Because I've been thinking about this as well. With all the stuff we have been talking about to help make Sam successful this year. There is one that seems to be forgotten. Play Action.

 

Last year, for Dlines, it was stop the run on the way to the passer. PA was no deterrent at all. Whether it was the Oline, the RB, or even the QB. For us it just didn't work.

 

This year, with Cmac back. PA should be much, much more effective. Even if Cmac is not being effective, just the threat of him running should give Sam and extra 1/2 second or so.

 

Point being, Dlines can no longer stop the run on the way to the QB. Cuz if you don't make the tackle, there's a chance nobody does.

That address stops by the line, but a lot of run stops are done by fast LBs (like TB).

I think  Tremble tremble will help get to that second level. 

One of BC's strength is getting to the second level as well.

With CMC's vision and shiftiness, I hope to see a rebound in YBC.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
