Not predicting a Todd Gurley type of season, mind you, but I am expecting a very productive season for this young man.
All the planets are lined up for him to prosper.
A contract year for Akers.
Newly re-energized McVay re-discovering the running game.
An OC with a strong background in run game appreciation.
A rebuilt OL with size and physicality.
An OL coach that really ‘gets it’.
More blocking TE’s for 12 sets and bolstering running game.
An O that knows it needs to control top to protect the young D.
So, heck yeah, I like Akers’ chances to shine this year.
