Why I’m excited for this year

• I think we have the best set of WRs we’ve had in a while. Consider that last year, we had Lamb as the main starter with Gallup injured. Meanwhile, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko, and Noah Brown were considered to be legitimate starters. Yes, I know. They were considered by the FO to be legitimate NFL starters that could compete with the likes of AJ Brown, Hopkins, etc. Now, the FO will have a difficult decision when it comes to keeping 6 WRs. Obviously, Lamb will take the 1 WR. However, then tor WR 2 and 3, we can rotate in Cooks and a healthy Gallup. Behind that, our KR will be Turpin likely. But then things get interesting for the last few spots. Tolbert will probably make the team, but what to do for that last spot? Do they keep Fehoko who’s had a rough TC? Do they keep Brooks, who’s been fabulous in TC? Do they keep Cropper? If they let go of Cropper, what’s the likelihood that he gets poached instead of going on the PS? Is Dennis Houston going to go from starter to the USFL? What a good problem to have! Our WR looks much stronger.
• The improvements at WR should only help Dak. Most contenders have at least 2 excellent WRs in today’s NFL. All of a sudden, we seem to have 3-4 fantastic looking WRs. Oh, and our TE unit looks good to me (even without Schoonmacher). Better quality WRs means that the QB’s job becomes much easier.
• Do I need to gush about our defence? Oh, bother it, I will. Our D is fantastic already, but I’m excited especially because we finally got a NT! So, we should have better luck stopping the run. Oh, and Gilmore opposite Diggs should be wonderful! I think we will have a top 2-3 defence.
• Our special teams should be interesting. I think Aubrey will put it together. Sounds like he’s had a better camp the last few days, and he was excellent in the USFL. Our punting unit should be good as Anger is still there. Turpin (as long as he holds onto the ball) should be even better now.

The only real area I have any concern is probably the oline and running game. Then again, the quicker passing scheme (which I love) should help protect the oline. How many times did we see plays under Garrett/Linehan/Moore where the play took forever to develop? This quicker attack should help Dak and the oline. As for the running game, I am excited to see Vaughn play and Pollard. All in all, I’m excited for this season.
