Our 2022 offense was historically bad at scoring points - which is kind of the purpose. The reasons were:
1. Turnovers
2. Missed field goals
3. Poor Offensive Line Performance
4. Bad coaching of Oline, QB and particularly Offensive Coordinator
5. Inexplicable or untimely drops from receivers
6. Injuries
For 2023, it was/is hoped that coaching changes would address some of those issues. Now we are rumored to be down 4 potential starters. From names floated I am comfortable that QB and RB are 2 of those. The other 2 may be an OT and TE, 2 OTS, or a WR and an OT. A variety have been floated and I am not sure what the actual combination is. Or if the number is limited to 4 on offense and one on defense.
To me, our best bet is the new staff can overcome the loss of talent. The physical talents drop off at QB is significant. Hopefully this can be offset by better knowledge and poise. We will see.
But, let's face it. There was never going to be significant improvement without a big change on the offensive line performance. Losses of starters there are concerning. Particularly at tackle, the most identifiable weakness last year.
Can we overcome losses with coaching and scheme?
