It really depends on the personnel that we bring in. With the team as it currently stands its pretty much a dink and dunk offense and hope the defense holds up. Once we fix the line and get at least an average running back we can then start to think of a decent offense scheme. With the fragile wr we have on the team and porous line we can't run a proper nfl offense.Since we are in the offseason it make since that we discuss the upcoming draft AKA our Superbowl.
However, I'd like to have a discussion around what peoples opinion is on the type of offense this team needs to be effective or dominant and help produce wins.
What I mean specifically is, do we want the offense to be more pass oriented (dominant passing game), more run oriented (dominant running game) or balanced (good on both sides)?
I believe most people would prefer the balanced approach but the questions is how far are we from that?
With the draft can we establish a balanced offense and what type of selections would that require?
If we don't have the means for establishing a balanced offense (can't trade down/FA does not work out), do we think it's better to create a passing oriented offense or running oriented offense? And how would we do this?
As an example let us assume FA did not net any worthy additions. In the draft suppose we cannot trade down #3 and the first 2 picks are TL and Fields, then it would be advisable to pick Sewell to bolster the line and with the #18 pick (assuming all tier 1 WR are gone) pick a tier 1 RB and use additional picks to establish a running game with some tier 2/3 WRs to help passing as well. But the strategy here is we will let the running game establish our offense.
Others may disagree with above and say that we focus on receivers (even tier 2) regardless of the scenario and create a passing offense that helps the QB, with less focus on adding value to running.
Note: I am saying less focus, we do still need to help for our running game.
I was just curious others think regarding this?
