It was actually a very successful ball control offense. We were ranked 5th.

 

Not sure where you're getting this from. I don't see a single offensive statistic where we were above #11 (in receiving, ironically).

 

ETA: Unless, are you talking Time of Possession?

The 2012 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens seem to have done fine without one.

 

Did they?  They had two WRs that had over 800 yards and 3 that had as many or more TDs than Steve Smith.

 

Their #2 receiver:  855 yards and 8 TDs. 

 

Yep, their #2 >> than our #1.

You are missing the point. If that's his role, you can get a much you get guy to fulfill that role for a much, much cheaper price. I love Smitty, but you can't keep him at that price just because he has a 99 HEART rating on Madden.

Read the cap hit by releasing him in 2014. It makes no sense.

Furthermore, those 750 yards are not replaceable. It's not that easy. You don't just say, hey this guy caught 750 for this much money...plug him in....Smith drew all the coverage and still made critical plays that not just any 750 yard guy will make. I wish it was as easy as Madden, but it's not. His 99% is about the only accurate thing going....he is that damn good!

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
