Just thinking about this, we seem to be loaded with big-play threats. DP-E, Westercamp, Morgan,...heck the entire WR crew. Add Armstrong's run threat and out-of-pocket passing, it appears that we have more of a break-out running threat, either with Zigbo or Tre Bryant (or Wilbon if he blocks)......it just seems that on Offense and Special Teams we have some serious knock-out potential. If Langsdorf can call a good game, we could dial up some big plays!
While this is good, my fear is that we end up relying on this to get us out of trouble. Either because our Defense struggles against mobile QBs or because Armstrong hasn't matured and throws 16+ INTs again this year. You have to believe that our bad luck last year in close games, has to turn into fortune this year. Therefore I think it's possible that we end up with a decent record off the back of several big plays.
I will take it, but it's not necessarily the way to build a program.
As an additional thought, i do think our recruiting this year, coupled with last year's, we begin to build a solid team that can consistently move the ball, while not getting beat by big plays on D.
