I can kind of see it both ways. If we had a decent RT maybe some of the longer developing explosive plays have a better chance. But do we really expect this WR group to be delivering that? I do think the one obvious area of improvement for the offense is here though. Maybe we get that with a WR upgrade, maybe OT. As long as we build in at least one of those positions next year I'll be happy.

I think and hope getting Toney out there and getting skyy better will help quite a bit. Those guys help a ton with the passing game by taking those quick hitches and wiggling for gains. And McKinnon helps a ton too obviously. But once we get that more consistently even if the defense loosens up an inch we should be taking it a mile. Which then makes it even easier to open up the short game. But we just don’t have the horses to do that. None of our guys right now scare other teams downfield. Denver did exactly that. The opportunities were there and we didn’t take advantage of them. Some of that is obviously on mahomes for flat out missing. But the only WR who scares anybody downfield right now is Toney and I’m not sure we can ever rely on him to have a huge snap share.
