  1. The one rule I’d like to see to bring defense back into the game is make it a turnover if the offense loses possession and the ball goes out of bounds. This would remove the end zone rule inconsistency and make the game safer because you hit less hard if there is a premium on stripping the ball out. Most importantly, all of the ball control offenses we see these days - with teams going turnover free for multiple games in a row - have turned NFL football into a snooze-fest.

    He was the starting center for the Chargers when we played them last year. I remember thinking how lucky we were to play against their 3rd center in our matchup, and then our interior DL did basically nothing. So maybe our coaches were impressed and figured he was worth a shot as a camp body if nothing else.


    didn’t Oliver blow by the middle of their line to win the game. 

  3. Division should be easier this year.  The stars aligned perfectly for Miami last year and it wasn’t enough - they are never going to have any thing close to an under  30 Tyreek, and a first contract tua, waddle and Wilkins. As far as the jets go, there have been only about 2 QBs with any success after 40, Favre and Brady and those guys were virtually indestructible when it comes to injury avoidance.

    He was, in fact, the #1 WR in terms of catch percentage. Everyone above him was a RB catching screens and dump-offs. He was also 11th in yards per reception. Not bad for a slot guy. He was also #1 in Success % and yards per target. He only had 45 targets all season. That number needs to go up.

    Shakir being the league’s number 1 receiver in  reception percentage per target, while also finishing 11th in yards per reception, and playing in a wind tunnel of a home stadium, is almost bizarre.

    Based on your list of players:

    Diggs:  1100-1200

    Shakir:  700-1000

    Kincaid: 700-900

    Rookie:  500-700

    Samuel:  500-700

    Cook:  300-500

    Knox:  100-300

    Hollins:  100-200

    Shorter:  0-100

     

    People are still sleeping on Shakir.  His reliability was the best on the team and was our best WR down the stretch and playoffs.  He will be a big part of our offense this year.  Honestly, I would easily have Shakir well over 1000 yards if it wasn't for the fact we have a lot of mouths to feed.  

     

    Meanwhile, Samuel likely starts outside with Diggs to start the season with our rookie likely rotating in with Samuel.  But I expect Samuel to dominate the snaps early in the season as the rookie builds trust with Allen and the coaches.  If the rookie earns that trust, then I think he will start getting more opportunities in the 2nd half of the season.  I put him in yardage ahead of Samuel because I think the rookie probably gets more chunk plays and big plays but less catches, so he will probably put up more yards than Samuel.   

     

    I don't expect any one player to have a massive statistical season because this offense is going to be loaded and ball will be spread around, plus I expect the run game to be a big part of our offense still next year with Cook.  


    Shakir was not only the most reliable on the team. His 86-87% completion rate on targets had to have lead the whole league.
