Not threatened by Minshew at all. He's past his mania days. Go back and look at some of his games last year when he had to start in place of Hurts. He went 0 - 2 in those starts and played horribly. Throwing a pick six in one of them and a redzone pick in another. He's still scrappy, but, our offense should be able to outscore Minshew and the clots in week one. If not? We deserve to lose it.

Goal one with them is slowing down Taylor and not giving Pittman free releases at the line of scrimmage. The expectation should be the defense plays better with a few second year players hopefully stepping up and Caldwell being more comfortable and fluid as a play caller.
