Will Fox Try To Win With Offense This Season?

No one, because the TE isn't running a pattern. When they have 8 men in the box, our TE is blocking.

But I agree with your point, we do need to get the TE more involved in the passing game. Based on Davidson's history, I can't believe he hasn't gotten them more involved thus far

b/c Fox is the coach and Davidson is running an offense under the Fox philosophy.

They won with offense most of the year in 2008. Offense does not win championships. The D HAS to step up. It hasn't really given fans much to be excited about since 2005 and IMO has never been what I would call an elite unit under Fox's watch. I haven't lost hope that the D will be improved despite Kemo's being lost for the year though.

This is the worst cliche in football. It pisses me off so much. I cringe all 1,324,987 times that I hear somebody say this (or "Defense wins Championships") during the NFL season.

It's so stupid and illogical. In a way it's right though; offense doesn't win championships but neither does defense. Scoring more points than the fuging opponent wins championships! Doesn't matter how you get it done; winning wins championships. 3-0 or 49-48 a win is a win.

More likely with the exception of Barnidge, King and Rosario do little else beside catch a cold. Neither can stretch the field or pressure a defense like a guy like Witten can. You are better off having them block than going out on a pass pattern. At least blocking they can't bat the ball up to the opposition.

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
