Offense is really humming, so no questions there for me. It appears that Boom will return as backup at both OG and LOT since Edwards kinda slammed the door on the LG ‘debate’. Akers, when healthy, will return in a rotation with Hendy, but Hendy definitely seems to have the inside track for ‘starter’ position.
Really?
Humming or not, I'd like to know where the deep ball is?
I keep thinking about the Pittsburgh game last season and how the Steelers seemed to be locked in on all of our WR screens. And, through 3 games thus far, I'm beginning to see the same out of opposing defenses. Not to the extent of the Steelers, but I think that we're tipping something off.
Regardless, I believe that those WR screens would be a heck of a lot more effective if we could plant a seed a doubt in the defense's mind that we might go over the top (i.e. throwing the ball 40 - 50 yards in the air to a WR streaking down the field). I don't think that we've seen that at all this year - through 3 games.
Is it a tacit acknowledgement that we don't really have a burner at the position (or at least someone who can gain separation deep?
I believe that we'll be at a disadvantage against better defenses if we can't stretch them out a bit.
