Very good assessment of the team and the o-line. The o-line last year was atrocious, so was the coaching, and the QBs.
I think that having a healthy S. Charles, adding Nick Gates and Wiley, and having Cosmi full-time at guard is a major improvement over last year. Yes, they need to gel better, but I think people have forgotten how awful the line was last (remember Norwell and Trai Turner?
)
I trust EB's coaching and his ability to adapt a million times better than Scott Turner. That is a big improvement and it will make a difference with the offense.
Finally, have people forgotten how f*cking awful Wentz and Heinicke were?
I'm all for being cautiously optimistic, and injuries can always derail a season. But I think people forget how bad the offense was last year (outside of WRs and RBs).
