Why won't 2014 offense look like 2011 offense?

Strong Points
1) Cam Cameron is the real deal
2) The Oline will be better
3) RB talent is off-the-charts
4) WR's drop off will not be as much as many think. Diarse, Dural and new dudes will ball.
5) DBU - Back to excellence. (indirect effect - field position and game situation)

Not sure points:
6) LBers. Will we see any REAL improvement (aside from homerism expectations)- (indirect effect - field position and game situation)
7) Chief - mixed story. (indirect effect - field position and game situation)
8) DT/DL - I think this will be fine, but losing too much to state this as a strong point. (indirect effect - field position and game situation)

Hmmm....
9)AJ10 - Has a lot to show after major success and major struggles in his play thus-far...
10) If Miles is not confident in AJ10 and insists on playing only him like he did with JJ, expect him to over rule Cam's otherwise good game planning (yes, I think Miles constrains the offense unless he has a lot of confidence that his QB can protect the ball in a passing game)...

In total, there are reasons to think it will look like 2011, and reasons to believe it won't look like 2011.

thoughts?

EDIT: The defensive positions are not directly related to the offense in the title of thread, I agree...However, as I edited, it matters indirectly in terms of field position, etc...which can strongly affect the play calling and effectiveness of the offense, especially in a Miles-coached team.

I agree. But it does relate, so I was just trying to recover from a good touche' with something that made sense.

We thought the same thing about the defense heading into this year. Sad face.

1) Everyone thought that Crowton was a friggin genius after 2007 season.

2)We all thought the oline would be better this year too

3)Our RB talent is usually spectacular

4)WR drop off will be huge (Moreso because of the QB than actual talent at the WR position)

5)nothing to do with offense
6)nothing to do with offense
7)nothing to do with offense
8)nothing to do with offense

9)AJ10 might not even be the starter next year
10) What does contrain mean?

So either it will look like 2011 or it won't. Gotcha.

God, I hope we aren't like the 2011 offense. That was a dumpster fire masked by a strong defense and timely plays by Mathieu.

That team ranked 106th in passing offense, 22nd in rushing offense, and 86th overall.

2011 was overrated because of scoring a lot against weak Auburn and Florida squads and having Mathieu pull their asses out of the fire against Arkansas and Georgia. They even struggled to put drives together against Oregon's weak arse defense.

That's always a great start. That was a long four years watching that train wreck behind center

If you're going to come in here and say our Defense wasn't disappointing this year I don't know what to say
