Fortunately, I think the Pistol formation is so multi-dimensional, especially with the players we have that run it, that it will be MUCH more difficult to figure out than the... Wildcat, for instance. I wouldn't even call the Pistol a gimmick offense. But the point is that even if all the players stay the same, and they learn the playbook even better, there's still a chance that some cunning DC's around the league could use gametape from last year to stop - well, slow down - the offense.

1st, I echo that BHA's post encapsulated how I feel.

2nd, to your devils advocate point, I do think that the NFL defenses, particularly division rivals, will do better. If you look at our 2nd game against each, I think you saw we had to play a different style in order to gain the same points for example the first game against Dallas we lit them up through the air, but the 2nd time was more running. But, there are two parts to the equation - our offense also should run at a faster pace with everyone having a 2nd year in it, and Kyle and Mike get an offseason to add to it, tweak it, and adjust to what the defenses saw.

I hope that our offense should be more error free, even more creative and thus even more productive!

I am also glad they aren't willing to push alot of money down the road, its a bad move. Especially for a team that still needs alot of pieces.

The zone read option is here to stay. As long as a team has a strong running game- an offense can incorporate the zone read option because one makes the other stronger (running game and zro).

Ditto. I didn't want to lose Moss...he was key in the RZ and on 3rd-4th down all year.

I was re-watching the TB comeback win last night...the last drive...Moss and Davis were huge.


Now, onto keeping Fred and Zo. If I had to pick one of them, I'll keep Alexander, but we can't afford to lose both.

Sounds good if they can do both. But is TK@TKextremes a reputable source?

If we dont lock up a top corner FA ASAP we will be starting a rookie this Sept.
Talib seems to be the best one out there now....get 'er done!

Isn't that what people said with Garcon last year.

I'm happier about the Davis update.


As long as Talib stays on the field and out of trouble...upgrade over Hall. He and Wilson will be a solid combo with Minnifield hopefully coming back earn to the nickel spot.

Now we just need safeties.

Well remember when the rumor was Vincent Jackson was our guy last year, then Garcon was signed? Who is the Cornerback we are not talking about?

Our Cap situation wasnt as close as it is this year.

Derek Cox? Sean Smith?

Not saying those previous things WILL happen, just that it's in motion.
