One thing that can hold us back....

Post by RubeTube »

We don't have enough offensive playmakers.

Thielen, Diggs and Cook are literally it.

Cook hasn't even proven he can play 75% of the games. People say we are fine behind him but I don't agree. Boone and Thomas has shown nothing other than running through other teams practice squads late in a preseason game.

If Cook goes down, Abdullah and Boone is one of the worst RB tandems in the league and you are not winning anything with that.


Next is our WRs. We desperately need a third WR. Diggs and Thielen made it through the year healthy and we still struggled. Can you imagine if either is to go down for any period of time?

I'm all on board with the talent we have and i am on record saying we are going to #Hoist but if this season is a failure, it's time for Zimmer and Rick to go.

Too much attention to the defense and not enough to the offense imo.

I agree on your Oliver take. You HAVE to take him of he is there. Same with Sweat imo.

RBs + WRs can only be playmakers if people can block for the passer or open holes consistently for a guy like Cook.
