Ahhh, Yeah, The Old Chip On The Shoulder, D. Newton Reports

We didn't have the 28th ranked offense last year.  That's Jags/Raiders territory.  Anyone with any sense who watched us play last year saw we had a long time eating offense that slowly and methodically drove down the field.  It was very efficient until the last couple of games of the year (and those last games really hurt our overall ratings).

 

This type of offense helped our defense, which happened to be really fuging good last year

 

Football Outsiders, who probably consistently has the best overall team rankings of any site in my opinion had our offense ranked at 10th in the league at the end of the year (this ranking accounts for everything, not just out of context yard numbers).

 

 

Even better than that, we were ranked 7th before that week 17 Falcons game.

it wasnt pretty for the most part, and certainly not a large number of big plays that we were used to seeing since Cam has been here.  keep our defense rested, ball control and wear out the opposing teams defense seemed to be the game plan.  if you look at it like that, then our offense did pretty well.  i am starting to believe we are going to be far better off with our receivers, especially when you factor in Dickson and the possible emergence of B Willy or "Swole" as they call him.  we are still a run first team, so it pretty much will be predicated on how well we do there but the idea that Cam doesnt have any weapons is becoming much more of a farce. 

 

I would not have even called us a run first team last year. Cam was the only reason we had rushing yards to speak of, we were a ball control team. Cam was the reason our Offense ran last year, take away his Pro Bowl season and our offense would have been terrible. I think this year they have added players that will bring new wrinkles and thats a team moving forward.
