I think they put Ramsey on Kincaid, and then Coleman balls out…(could go the opposite way)... Then they move Ramsey to Coleman, and Kincaid balls out. Meanwhile, Shakir breaks a play or two.
Diggs, Davis, Morse, Poyer, Hyde, Floyd, Milano….
From his perspective, this team is basically without 30% of its starters from last year and lost its most productive pass rusher.
That narrative would definitely push Allen closer to a MVP award. That said, I can see Kincaid, Cook, Shakir, and/ Coleman getting accolades in the media; especially if any of them ball out in a prime time game. Coleman in particular has the personality to become a media darling with a few big games.
Honestly, the Knox contract isn’t that bad. There’s an out after 2025’ coupled with a pair of void years that stretched the guarantee money. On top of that Knox is the only known quantity as a redzone weapon - outside of Josh’s running - this offense has, and has developed into a solid blocker. Hopefully, he rebounds this year and tears it up with Kincaid…. If not that contract will get dropped, and they’ll draft a replacement.
Plus the Packers have the largest fan base in Brazil 🇧🇷(probably the colors), so it might be like a home game for them. Of course, they may just treat it like futbol, and each team will need to use silent counts. 😂 🤷♂️
It’s be better to be hopeful for a Randall Cobb type of outcome…. Where the efficiency drops a bit, but the overall production increases dramatically while being able to occasionally work as an outside receiver when needed. If Shakir turns into an annual 60-70 catch, 700-900 yard receiver I’d certainly be happier than a pig in slop, especially if Kincaid can improve and Coleman turns into something.
So, for clarification….
When we’re referring to McD’s usage of “complementary football” are we just assuming that he tells all his OCs to run the football 40 times a game so the defense doesn’t get tired?
I honestly can’t believe that McD would be that much of a dolt. I assume that when he uses that term it’s in reference to in game situations such as this team is down 3-4 starters in the front 7 (6 with this team), so the offense needs to keep the chains moving and get up by two scores so the opposition can’t just run the ball all game.
The latter might make sense to me if we currently had Marshawn and FredX or even prime Shady, but that’s not the case.
I believe the owners banned that after the Packer did it with Sterling Sharpe.

McD and LeFleur suffer from a similar issue…. They each end up facing off against their old boss in the playoffs and get out coached. That said, there are a few notable missed plays by players in those games that could have changed their fortunes: Nixon dropped pick six, Diggs dropped deep ball, etc.
Gotta say though…. If Shanny had Allen on his rookie deal there’s a good chance that Mahomes isn’t the anointed one as he’d have likely been splitting a few Lombardi trophies with Allen.
Not only will they need to stay healthy for them to hit 20 sacks, but so will Jones and Oliver. Interior pressure is going to be critical this season, and clean up sacks will be needed to reach the mark.
