Most important developments for the 23-24 season

While Allen is still factor #1 for our success. What other story lines will be most important in the next season?

[Simon Says]

I think Miller's (temporary) replacement is crucial 

[GoBills808]

It will come down to how well the offensive line plays

 

Even average oline play will be an improvement

[RoyBatty is alive]

Effective RB play and revamped O Line are more or less intertwined, esp with the emphasis on guards.

The running game.  It's back.  I think the 2023 version of the NFL will again see prolific running backs, especially on teams that don't have a prolific QB/WR1 tandem.  

 

The Eagles gave the league the blueprint last year.  An effective running game, especially in the second half, leads to victories.

This right here, its all about the O-line, an improved O-line improves the running game, improves the ability for passing plays to develop down field, keeps our QB upright, and as well allows our QB to torture opposing defenses.

Don't really see any of these as most important.

 

I think Groot and AJ kick it up a notch this year. We have options at LB and Williams is a tackling machine. WR just like LB we have options as well as Kincaid. Not worried about the OL gelling,  but Brown taking a step up would be nice. The RB room also has options.  Power, speed, quickness, receiving and blocking all available in our RB room. Pick your poison. 

 

Most important question for me is our coordinators.  OC ( Dorsey) and DC (McD).

 

Does Dorsey have it in him to use 12 personal, call a short game and adjust on the fly? Can he be creative with play design and calls? Can he keep JA on track for a quick short game or running game if needed?

 

How aggressive will McD be? Can he handle both HC and DC duties at the same time? Will he stay with Nickle mostly or switch things up with Dime, 4-3? Press, Man, Zone balance? Will he also adjust on the fly?

[GunnerBill]

Josh Allen is the key so the one that best helps Josh - OL play.

[NewEra]

Easy answer imo.  Offensive line play

[stevestojan]

Protecting the franchise and giving him a few seconds each snap to do what he does best. 
 

Josh and our new RB corp with a strong offensive line puts up 35 a game without trying very hard.

funny. there was only one real option to click on because If the offensive line is revamped... it fixes many other issues.
