The play action game and Lawrence's ability to move the pocket with his mobility will give this team some deep shot opportunities and that's exactly why they went out and signed Davis and drafted BTJ. 

Kirk & Engram are going to feast underneath and down the seams and then hopefully, like you already cited. Strange and Bigsby take a huge step forward in year two and start to contribute. The offensive line in general is entering this season a lot better up front with more stability. 

We know Robinson is the LT on day one. We know Cleveland is the LG on day one. We didn't really have that last year. Scherff's play should improve with Morse next to him at C and then that leaves Harrison building off from his solid rookie season with a bum shoulder that he also addressed. 

There's really no reason not to be excited this year. The schedule is not as bad as it was last year as well on paper.

I appreciate you guys' optimism.  And your reasoning seems pretty sound.  But 29 years of watching this team has pretty much pounded the optimism out of me.  I still love the team, and I'll still watch every single play of every single game, but I have no earthly idea how it's all going to come out.
