Return of the running game?

[TheRainMaker]

Time to dumb it down for the likes of Harry and Sanu. It's going to look bad before it gets better book it.

They should cut Sanu. Harry and Myers should have better years as I expect them to cut down on the clairvoyance responsibilities.

Do they really have “great” weapons? Evans and Godwin are obviously elite and maybe that's enough but Ronald Jones is second or third tier starter (good but not great) and while OJ Howard has a ton of athletic ability, he has never had more than 35 catches or 600 yards in his three year career. We are not talking about a Gronk-like a security blanket. Brady is also used to having an elite slot guy and an elite pass catching back and Tampa does not have anyone like T. Brown/Welker/Edelman and Faulk/Vereen/White. Now if they make another bold move like trade for Edelman and pick up a top third down back (Lewis is an interesting thought but is not the same guy), it could be a video game offense.

Man...too bad they let Humphries go.

Keep in mind that with Evans and Godwin, defenses will be soft on short and middle of field stuff. Brady will utilize the RB and also can probably get by with any shift receiver in the slot.

Evans/Godwin were pro bowlers with the turnover king throwing to them, Howard is very talented and Brady will get him involved he’ll have a career year. Ronald Jones will be RB2 Melvin Gordon will go there for cheap as most teams have an RB so his choices are limited

Evans/Godwin/Howard will eat teams up in the short in middle of the field as well

They might also be hunting for a slot receiver?

They tried to be a running team last year - it was abhorrent

What about the year before?

It would be idiotic not to try to at least for this year build around the defense and run game. That's what you do when you don't have a QB.
