Flat out, you give the ball to your best player and let him make plays. For us this would be Brady. We employ the 3 WR spread offense to let Brady reduce the number of different threats. More good RBs and worse running D teams will bring a balance, but look for the passing game to dominate in the good weather early in the year, and especially the first halfs--to get the lead. If you take away the draws and the inside handoffs out of the shotgun our running game dwindles. Take away the threat of the pass and it is pathetic(see the preseason).
We are deeper this year at RB than WR(losing Stallworth, gaining Jordan), but that only is intended to leave us in better shape later in the year as attritition sets in. Getting Neal back(week 6-8 like Seymour last year)will be inspirational...but I contend that his play wont be the same(again like Seymour last year). Our OL I am afraid is now depending on guys like Flynn and Welbourn for the duration. I contend that we will be taking the inside and WR screens to new levels, blocking downfield in passing routes and keeping the D moving should tire them a bit to the point where they cant defend the random runs as well. The teams that will do the best against us will likely have fast/small defenses like Indy and the Broncos.
For the record, I am still thinking we should have taken Branden Albert for the OL, ahhhhh hindsight!
