OK, so how bout this

Looking at the offense we have and the production so far, this is what/who I see that has made some sort of impact to the game.

Smitty - always a threat

D-Will - averaging 4.2 yds per carry

Goodson - averaging 4 yds per carry and 12 yds per catch

Rosario and Gettis - each averaging 10 yds per catch

so I see this as a very competitive lineup regardless of QB. Throw in another WR or TE to complete the lineup.

So why are we not running Goodson as a wing back or slot? Why are we foresaking D-Will's rushing threat to bring in Goodson? As I see it, both should be on the field to present a rushing threat at the same time we present a passing threat! I'm no OC, but seems to me that the more threats you put on the field, the defense has to respect them. if you are displaying a balanced run/pass threat - the D has to equally defend both. I see too many times when it so obvious whether we are running or passing.

If Goodson in the slot or on the wing can pose a threat to the secondary, could this possibly loosen the coverage on Smitty? Possibly pull some pressure from stacking the box? If D-Will is a cutback runner and Goodsen can pull some attention - then you really don't need the FB to lead block - so add Goodson to the primary offensive threat. Add J-Stew to the mix and you have 3 interchangeable threats.

As for the D - the big thing there is for them not to be on the fileld so long and so much - that gets fixed by a better offense.

OK, so how bout this? Does it make sense?

well, not sure I could stand being a coach on that level - my BP would boil over because I would not be "golf clapping" on the side line after a blown coverage. I had a hard enough time with people that played for free - I'd have no tolerance for a multi-million $$$$ player being in lala land.

    • The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).
    • C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
