I keep going back to the Hiring of MM as HC. We were all told about his creative offensive abilities. Innovative play calling and formations, using personnel effectively, etc. Then with Drew, he had to "dumb it down" and go with a Vanilla, dont lose the game, power run type approach. With JP this year, I think we will see the REAL Mularkey's ability to GAme plan. We saw some of it late last year, during our win streak, as you mentioned. I think he will expand on this during this season. I defintely dont think we will step back from the Offense we saw at the end of last year, just because JP is on the field. If anything, I think the success we had with that style of offense Combined with Drew's limitations and liabilities led to the release of Drew. I fully expect Rookie mistakes from JP. I dont think he will be Kelly-esque this year. But I do expect him to run a full powered, aggressive offense designed to fully utilize his abilities, as well as Mularkey's...
As far as RB's go, I think Lionel Gates will make this team. He has all the tools and abilities that teams look for in todays NFL. I think the odd man out is Rashard Lee. I just dont see him making the squad. If he Does, then it will be Joe Burns who is let go (Burns ST play gives him a decided edge, as well as his ability to play FB). Williams will be Number 2. then Gates.
