We dont have a true #1 or #2 receiver on our team. We have NO talent for Kyle to work with other than Cooley (and possibly Davis).

A good O-line and/or scheme can give even mediocre RBs enough holes that they'll break over the magic 4.0 average. Not saying that our O-line is monstrously talented, but they should be perform better simply because Shanny totally revamped the once-shitty strength and conditioning program that here. As far as I can tell, OL was indeed addressed with the pickups this offseason. Perhaps not as adequately as one would like, but they had limited options.
Besides, even Tatum-freaking-Bell had statistically good seasons thanks to the zone-blocking scheme.
