I'm very bullish on our offensive backfield. Jase is a very solid player who was underutilized by BoB and had one of his greatest skillsets kind of eclipsed (understandably) when Gibbs came in - catching the ball out of the backfield. Jam Miller is very talented and looked great any opportunity he got last year. And the reports on Justice Haynes are sparkling. McClellan is not going to be a power drive down the field guy, but Haynes has a shot to be if he is what everyone seems to think he is. And I think Jam and Jase are very good 8-10 carry a game guys to have in tandem.

How does the OL look?

Kind of the key to the whole thing, IMHO. We have quality depth of talented bodies across the line for the first time since 2020. We have 2 1st round picks in Latham and Booker. We have a very experienced, solid center in Seth McLaughlin. The question will be LG and RT. Proctor looks like a typical shows up Day 1 and plays like an NFL tackle type guy, but he has to prove that. Dalcourt is experienced but his career has been up and down, and behind him are a handful of talented R-FR/SO who haven't proven anything yet (Ferguson, Roberts, Pritchett).

Like a lot of this team, there are pieces there that you feel good about individually because of their talent and/or experience, but I really need to see them looking like a gelled unit that knows what they are doing before I really feel great about it.

So you put that sentiment with a total unknown QB situation and 2 new coordinators, and yea it's just a very "who knows" feeling situation. No reason for doom and gloom, because there are pieces everywhere, but far from many certainties (at any position group, frankly).

Other than kicker. I am very confident about our kicking situation. Go figure, right?
