Passing Through
I wonder, what would suffice for most of you in the draft? What addition of talent would make you pause and think, we might be ok on the line?
For me, I need an Lt in the first 2 rounds and an oc/OG in our first 4 picks.
In preseason, I want to see Watson move through his progressions faster, at least 1 other linemen show marked improvement (dav, rank, martin,) 3 step play calls on 3rd and short, improved blocking from one of our te's, the threat of a swing pass or well executed screen to a rb, hard counts on 3rd down that slow a rush, and short routes on blitzes. I keep hearing about this thing called a slant route. Might be nice?
I'd be happy with this, too, provided the guys we draft turn out to be solid, good players. I really like the part about other linemen showing a lot of improvement, but I'm hoping for two. Unless Mancz is hurt, I'd like to see him at Center and Martin moved to guard. I'd also like 3 step drops, but on more than 3rd and short. That will do a lot to help the OL. Improved blocking from the tight ends is a big YES. Adding some swing passes and screens and more use of slant routes...all of that is good and will make my heart go pitta patta next season. I'm really excited to see the impact the new QB coach will have on DWatson. I'm hoping he'll be able to speed up Watson's decision making. Overall, I find a lot of entertainment value in anticipating the draft and whatever other changes that may be in store. Let it happen!
