fair question, is when does scheme and play calling factor into a run game being league worst. 

I mean, we had virtually the no threat of attacking teams downfield.  Had really bad OL play.   Were probably one of if not the most predictable offenses in the NFL......and our lead back was (no disrespect) Hubbard .  AND we outperformed the Tampa run game. 

True, and they had actual NFL Wr's to keep the secondary honest. On paper I wonder how their 2023 roster stacks up to our current one

It's a legit question that I'm honestly not sure on (also-I was wrong-forgot they brought Bredeson in this offseason, Stinnie was there but pretty bad).  But they notably went in with a rookie, new parts, and it wasn't pretty. 

They were 4th worst run-blocking, we were 5th worst ha.  

Wirfs and Goedeke were zone capable, but the others were pretty freaking bad.  

What gives me a bit more hope is what Hunt could bring.  Only 2 penalties all last season, strong zone blocker, proven with looks we'll be running.  Lewis was aight in SEA, should have improvement at LG, but it's Hunt who could really fortify the right side next to Moton. 

Incremental, not thinking the there's some glow up, but if Brooks eventually gets going behind these guys, that could be the engine that gets things turning if the passing game is still falling apart.  And then we can run to open up the rest.  Not ideal, but I see some hope in getting a running game going.

Huge fan of this guy he regularly does draft content but every year he does breakdowns of teams and since he has been evaluating players has a deep knowledge of every player on each team. Awesome listen if you got the time plus he is moving to charlotte could be a future huddler.

Watched this as well. 

Didnt post it because of its length and people wanting a synopsis 

his points on young, were spot on in my opinion 

it was fair, balanced etc

i agree with many that Young will never have the tools to be elite and everything around him has to be perfect.  

nothing personnel, but thats not the nfl world and in my mind, that’s not what the number overall pick  should  be 

that said, I'm going to stop analyzing him, its not going to change, try snd Enjoy the season, hope they are competitive and that Young makes us all look like fools..at least for a game or two

      I see they blamed Slavin for the goal like I did.

      See this is the problem, you say "can't get off the line quick" and "can't separate quick" but in reality it's "he can get off the line better and create more separation" which are two completely different things. If he couldn't get off the line or separate, he wouldn't have put up the numbers he did and end up a Top 10 pick. But he can get better, and maybe more accurately, consistent with them both, and that will take his game to the next level.  These are things that are also much easier to improve once you get to the NFL than things like being a poor route runner or having bad hands, two of his strengths. Thinking he can't get open in the short passing game also shows you haven't watched enough tape on him, as he was used in that role so much in college with little issue getting open and making plays. And him not using his physicality as much isn't even something that hurts his game because he's so much more agile than a player of his size should be, which he used to his advantage.  Instead of throwing passes where he'd go up and box out a player like a TE or Mike Evans does, they use his athleticism and put the ball in places that only he can get to it, and he usually does (and yes, he'll still be able to do that against NFL DB's with his catch radius). But now that he's in the NFL, I'd like to see him get stronger and add that to his game because it also will help him take his game to another level. As I've said before, if he doesn't improve on those things at all, I think he's a Top 25 WR in this league, he's already that good.  But I think he'll improve on those things and be a perennial Top 10 WR and in his prime is considered and perform like Top 5 guy in some years. My expectations for him this year at 800 yards and 8 TDs (although I do think he'll get to 10 TDs) with a real chance at getting to 1,000.  But those expectations are because I think Thielen will lead the team in yards with close to 1k and XL/Coker each end up in the 500-600 range themselves, just too many mouths to feed this year for a rookie to dominate yardage, especially if we're running the ball well again. But if Thielen can't stay healthy or puts up sub 750 yards, then yea, my expectations for T-Mac likely shift to getting to 1k as a rookie.

      Svech only 1 goal behind the guy they've pretty much already given the Conn Smythe to...
