50/50 jump ball situations felt more like 70/30 in his favor. His ability to box out in traffic working back inside and his ability to track the football and drag his feet or toe tap outside are better than any of the receivers I saw in this draft class.

The size and top end speed is just a bonus. I kept thinking to myself as the draft process unfolded, that, we had to come out of this draft with him, Ricky Pearsall or Javon Baker. There was no way I thought he would be there at 17, let alone, 23. What helped us was a few defensive guys slipping that probably shouldn't have.

I'll take it though. I expect big things out of him immediately.

Yeah I'm thinking he'll be Trevor's clear #1 option by mid-season and that's meant as no disrespect to Kirk or Engram.  Which receiver has the biggest game will probably still vary game to game even then as opposing defenses will be picking their poison.  O-line please do your part in allowing this to happen.

Yeah. If they get him going early this season it will just open up the slot position further for Kirk to work his abilities across the field and then it frees up Engram some more. I would like to see Engram get even more opportunities with motion routes and being flexed out a little bit.

He was tasked with playing a little bit more inside and in between the hashes last season. Really worked his [BLEEP] off to earn those catches. I just think he offers more than that, and, it's as you hinted at, the offensive line has to figure it out this season. It all falls back on them. 

We'll live and die by Morse's durability this year I guess.

If we can hit that pass, it will open up the entire offense.

Starts with the running game. Have to believe in their ability to sell that fake more than anything. I expect Kirk and Engram to feast underneath this year with Thomas Jr. and Davis running deep out there. 

Should be a fun season. I don't think our schedule is as tough as it was last year. Especially defensively with the teams we'll see. Just have to see what that front five looks like with a full off season to gel.

If the middle and left side of the O line isn’t escorting opposing players into the backfield this season, that should be no problem.

Exactly. "Forward Momentum" should be the camp theme for that unit this year. Throw that on a shirt instead of the ranking nonsense. They know they suck. So, literally, move forward.

Khan can afford this.
