Our WRs are borderline cutable outside of MHJ and MO was drafting Riemann.
No one is saying cut the guy but we have way more need for WRs that make a difference on this roster.
this is a run first offense - the run dictates the success of our play action - in today's nfl that means running two tight ends a lot
if higgins could block edge rushers and linebackers and the speedy honeybadger budda baker type blitzers tip would likely be out of a job
not when your OC wants to run 12 and 13 and focus on the run.

And when the run is taken away we don’t have an offense. I don’t want to see a repeat of what we saw offensively in the passing game and I fear we will.
then tell kyler not to turn the ball over? those weren't on tip

LOL
K1 is not turnover prone and never has been. That is not the issue with this offense.
he did alright until the bye - then 8 of his 11 interceptions came during the second half of the season - you know - that time of year when kyler actually is turnover prone - i think he only threw 5 or 6 tds with those 8 picks
If you’re a real running team, that means the defense can’t take the run away.

Sure it does. The run is effectively off the board once you go down by 10 points.

I seriously don’t know what to say anymore.
It’s like people didn’t watch the team last year. We played great with leads or against teams that also couldn’t pass. We are heading towards the same fate this season and people are like ‘we’re good on offense’.

I mean that’s the only message to take from how Monti and Gannon have approached this offseason

It's a possibility that our offensive game plan for the past two years, heavy on the run, was in large part due to our questionable defense. Now with a better defense (fingers crossed) our offense might change.
would be nice if we would emulate the niners offense...we could be the modern version of what they were a few years ago...heavy run, but with explosive pass plays...and an aggressive defense that can get you the ball back.
all it would take is some redesign on our pass plays. Scheming guys open and getting them the ball in space. we have guys who can be explosive in space.
then instead of turning into Justin Jefferson, Marv only has to turn into Brandon Aiyuk....then MikeWilly or Zay Jones have to be Deebo...ish
Well, that an easy take when you choose to ignore half of the facts.
The offense ranked 11th in yards. 12th in points. 7th in rushing offense. 18th in passing offense. Facts!
The team has a lot of young developing players - two starting pass-catchers in MHJ and Reiman will only improve.
The offense scheme was dictated by protecting a horrible defense last year. That is no longer the case.
The 3rd WR was suspended to 6 games and never got integrated properly in the scheme.
Will that make this passing offense dominant? No, but it will improve from 18th.
And that is enough IMO. We do not need to be a top passing offense. I do share your concern for not playing well against good teams. But IMO, the improvements on defense is a much bigger component for the team to make a leap than the passing game.

Not if you are a good running team.
be realistic...6 yard pass to Trey...6 yard run by Conner...same same
I’m remembering the first game against the 49ers and the game against the Dolphins differently

The defense is an unknown until they prove otherwise.

You must be because they passed their way back into those games.
Also, congrats on fighting back into contention against two teams who were a combined 14-20.

Again, it is more of a usage question than anything. Is it worth using a 3rd rounder to draft a TE who only plays 40%-50% of snaps? WR3 only plays about 55% of snaps and WR4 plays less than 20%. How many resources are you willing to dedicate to those roles?
Tip has been good at what he is asked to do so far (rookie sliding scale applied here). That isn't part of the value calculation. On the flip side, outside of a few RBs, what player that was drafted later has outperformed Tip. TBF, the Elijah Jones whiff is more of an issue IMO but until better players begin to emerge, the convo is moot.

I am guessing this is a bit but I am not familiar with it.
Madden ratings ain't what they used to be.
They used to focus on getting it right because once the disc's were burned it was done.
But with all the digital updates these days they don't have to focus so much on precision
for those still questioning rieman's value - petzing and gannon doubled up on the blocking tight end position when keeping travis vokolek on the 53

These things are unrelated. The strategy of a coaching staff who is 12-22 should probably be questioned until proven otherwise.
