I believe we have a defense that can hold any team on our schedule at bay, teams will score, but I would say we can keep almost every team on the schedule under 20 even with the loss of KVN.

And I believe that our offense, with the stable of WRs and RBs, with Hill behind center can score more than 24 against any defense on the schedule... factor in the TEs and if Houk and Mahina get 6-8 receptions a game, I think we win every one of those games...

The TE is a special position because like having soft handed RBs who can catch out of the backfiled, it positions a player with good hands in a space on the field that challenges the LBs to play soft rather than crash the line... and Anae does understand that. And even more, good throws to TEs tend to force the safeties to focus on them, rather than 'help' in cover 2, and that can be disastrous with some of the new speed we've got at WR...

going to enjoy this.
