    Which players do you guys think will benefit from the new Schemes and coaches?

    I think whoever is at QB it will be better than what we have become accustomed too over the last five years. I believe on offense Jaylen Warren will be a stud in a spread offense with his vision and cutting ability as well as Gainwell. I believe the offensive line will take another leap forward this year $specially with the additional coaches and seemingly focus towards the oline. In addition Metcalf and Friermuth should see improvement. I believe Washington and Connor Heyward will take a step back with less playing time and certainly less targets.

    ‘regarding the Defense it is a bit tougher to project. I believe Harmon will progress simply because it’s year two. Same with his running mate the big fella why am I forgetting his name. Heyward should be the same and I believe Benton has room for growth provided they get him in the right position which is a rotational piece behind Harmon and Heyward - he is not a NT. The edges I don’t know. I’m not sure what kind of coaching can revive Watt. He is already maxed out on technique. I think his issues are simply regression in physical skills due to aging. Perhaps scheming might help him but he seems to be resistant to moving around. I think he continues his regression. I think Herbig and Highsmith will be similar to what we have seen. I believe the same for the MLB’s. Those guys are loaded up with twitch and athletic ability, I just think they were poorly coached last year and the same coach will be back this year coaching them. Unless we have a scheme change and offer them better -rotection with a try NT in front of them. Finally I think the DB’s will improve. Porter lost his coach but Graham schemes to guys strengths and his defenses have been pretty good to his DB’s. I believe the same for Pierre 9f we retain him. I can’t speak for the safeties as I think we will have new safeties at the very least a new free safety.
