Agreed - offensively, we have as good of weapons as any team in the league but we will only go as far as our coaching allows. I think Baker's skillset is perfect for this type of offense but if he can't get it going early, Stefanski should be able to adjust much quicker than Kitchens thanks to our RB and TE committees. He has the intelligence to use a playbook outside of NFL Blitz.
Defensively there are some question marks but if we can get the best out of our D-line, everything else will be much easier. I really like our secondary depth and we were a different team when Myles was in last year. Losing him was deflating.
I think we may take some lumps early on and playing the Ravens WK 1 sucks but if our coaches can actually adjust to our play throughout the season, I can see a 9-7 wildcard berth.
I agree that this defense was noticeably different without Myles last year. I think we were middle of the pack somewhere before the head smash.
But yes, I think the Ravens win week 1. Honestly, I think I'd be happy to be 4-4 headed into the bye week. I think this team gets progressively better throughout the year.
