Obviously I've missed them. I think we'll have to use TE's as blockers a lot during the game just to give us a chance to move the ball.


This is where the ACE formation and using the TEs in motion could help a ton. One, it give us the option to run to either side. And two, putting guys in motion can tell a QB a lot about coverages and reads. Etling seems like he can take all of that in rather quickly. It's going to be really interesting to see this play out Saturday. At least for once I feel like we have some kind of a shot offensively.

Teahuma and Boutte can physically match up strength wise with them, Clapp and Pocic better out technique them. Malone pretty strong also. I think our o-line can hold there own against them as well as anyone they have faced this year or maybe even better. At least we can slow them down enough to maybe set some things up on offense. They will get Fournette a little room to where he isn't getting hit in the backfield every play like last year and Etling won't be getting swarmed right at the snap. We'll have our chances this year especially with the new play calling to keep them off balance.

Are you saying etling is smarter than BH, or has a higher football IQ? Shame on you, that could be considered racist. Didn't you know BH has a stronger arm and therefore much more upside? Lol
