Jones, Z. Jones, Engram and Etienne as receiving options.  4 out of the 5 will be new to him this year.  As for the group protecting him, they added an All Pro offensive lineman in Scherff.  Many believe that Little will take over and upgrade our right tackle position.  If our rookie center earns a starting role, that could be 3 out of our 5 linemen upgraded.  That's a lot of change in one off-season.  I also think we'll have far better coaching.

I'm also one who believes that preventing a touchdown is just as valuable as scoring a touchdown.  I also think a good defense helps your offense.  Not being behind 0-7 or 0-14 to start the game allows the offense to maintain better balance and be less predictable.  Additionally, better field position helps an offense score points.  More possessions helps an offense score points.  Getting to face a tired defense because the other team just went three and out helps an offense score points.  We made major upgrades to our defense which besides lowering our opponent's score should also help our offense score points.

Kirk and Zay Jones are like the offensive versions of our DL signings from last year, although nobody argues we dramatically overpaid for any of our DL signings.
