Curtis Samuel will be placed on IR with a groin injury and will miss at least the first three games of the season, per @AdamSchefter

Not a good start to things.

Our bottom 3 offense is basically the same except Fitz (which could be huge).

edit - dont want to discount the chance of a bounce back healthy year for Humphries or D Brown showing himself to be able to stretch the field.

It was a fear. Door open for Brown.

I give the Chargers the W in a close one simply because they have the better QB. I think Herbert can and will make some plays out of the pocket where Fitz won't be able to do that.

The dreaded cross country 1pm start curse will play a factor. Herbert didn't play at all in the preseason so there's no way he'll be ready, right? WFT wins 24-20 on a late defensive TD.

Glad you edited. I think our offense is different on several levels. But Sunday will definitely help us re-set our expectations.

I think I saw parts of 1 game of Herbert's last season.

Excited to see what the buzz is about.

I do anticipate teams game planning for Chase/Sweat by playing quick ball and avoiding 5 to 7 step drops/long developing plays.

Last year it seemed teams molded their play calling to minimize our pass rush.

This offense has essentially been without Samuel since he signed. I really don't see how his absence will have any impact whatsoever.

The Chargers without Ekeler is a much worse scenario for them, than the absence of Samuel is for WFT.

They'd be dumb not to. That is why it is important for the back 7 to show some improvement this year, and I think they will. On paper they look to be much improved. Either way, I don't mind them giving up yards between the 20s, as long as the D shuts opposing offenses down in the Red Zone.

yeah .. i kinda tunnel visioned on Samuel for a second and kinda forgot we made other, albeit smaller upgrades.

But the negative nancy in me feels like we'll get a handful of games with Humphries until his concussion concerns become a reality. Leno will give us below average play. Samuels being out.

Our run game was a big issue last year as it was non-existent and we were predictable on play calling.

We have done 0 to address our run game .. except to hope that by being a more vertical down field team, defenses have to defend the whole field and not just 20 yards from the LOS.

i dont know man ... Scott Turner has to earn his paycheck this year.

Yup our red zone D was great last year. Hope that continues.

Our D is just stacked. As long as we can mask our LBs and the underneath/intermediate stuff ... top 5 is realistic.

Im pumped up.

Healthy Chase coming off the edge ... Im bart Scott.
