But our offense has serious issues at wr and te. James white is going to need to catch 10 to 12 balls a game for us to have any success in the air because the outside receivers not named Edelman are green and below average at best.
We really dont know any of this so I am not sure why you are making this claim. They are in a better place than last year going into the season.
First JE is back for the whole season and is now 1 year removed from his injury.
Dorsett went 7 for 66 on 7 targets in week 1 last year. He has more time in the system now so he should be improved over last year.
Hogan and Patterson had 2 catches and 17 yards combined total for week 1 last year. I doubt we will miss them this year.
You are adding a 1st rd pick (Harry) who I doubt will be worse than Paterson or Hogan. He could be much better.
Then for a 4th WR you have either Harris, Inmann or Myers. Myers has looked very sharp and the other WR is going to give you an upgrade on depth VS last year.
This dosent take into account Thomas who is traveling with the team and could be ready to play or maybe ready by week 7. They would not have him travel with the team if he had no hope of being a contributor.
Gordon should be reinstated at some point and he will be more comfortable in the system.
You have Merideth in the bullpen.
This group (regardless of the configuration) will be much improved over last year and if Gordon is back and DT can play they could be one of the top units in the league.
