Quote:Why do people assumed that because the defense has gotten better and a stable of running backs the production of the passing offense is going to go down? If anything, the production is going to go up because if the defense is better that means more opportunities for the offense base on giving them more possessions by creating turnovers and better field position. I never heard an offense even a great one kneel the ball down in the third quarter or even at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

It must be all of those comments from the head coach like "we want to impose our will with the run game" - "we want a more balanced attack" and "we don't want Blake out there slinging it 50 times a game"


They abandoned the run in a handful of games last year, and I don't think that will have to happen as often this season. Improved interior line plus an ivory/Yeldon tandem will likely mean an increase in rushing attempts.


I see Bortles pass numbers taking a 10% dip.


But you never know, game situations and match ups may give Bortles and Robinson enough big games to have similar numbers to last season.


As long as the number of wins increases - I don't care what Blake and Allen's stat lines are.
