Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4083267, member: 1674"] Very long and premature post incoming on what I currently think about the upcoming offseason on the offensive side of the ball (I just don't have it in me to go over the full roster right now). Given the age of the WR room and the ineptitude of the TEs and overall run game, I expect there will be a decent amount of new pieces next year. The only offensive players that I think are really locked in for next season are Allen, Diggs, Davis, Dawkins, and Brown. Everyone else probably needs to at least be considered. [B]Coaching staff:[/B] I think we will likely end up with a worse offensive coordinator as a result, but I do expect Daboll to be gone one way or another this offseason, be it for a head coaching job or from being let go. New OLine coach/run game coordinator obviously wouldn't be a surprise either. [B]Running back:[/B] Seems like a pretty safe bet that the RB room will be addressed this offseason, but I actually think after those 5 guys mentioned above, I might argue that Singletary and Breida would be next on my list (which may be the problem with the offense to begin with lol). Singletary has run the ball pretty well considering what he's been working with IMO; his elusiveness has returned and he's currently in the top 15 in DVOA on the season. His issue has always been, and remains, that he is just a terrible receiver out of the backfield and poor pass blocker as well so he limits the versatility of your offense. Given the lack of versatility, he shouldn't be our top RB, but I think he'd be a good backup. Breida and Moss have both had their moments this season, but neither is a starting caliber guy. To me, pick between Breida and Singletary to be your primary backup next season and move on from the other two. I don't want to invest much in the position to begin with, but we should be able to find a versatile enough RB to fit into our ideal system without breaking the bank. [B]Wide Receiver:[/B] I wouldn't say it's a must that we move on from Beasley and Sanders but it's certainly an option we need to consider, both for cap and productivity/age reasons. Davis is too talented to leave on the sidelines (though we could just play all of them). But ultimately, I think with another offseason of aging, Beasley may be a luxury we can't afford anymore. As always, I think it always makes sense to continue adding young talent to the WR room. [B]Tight End:[/B] Knox is cheap enough that he can stay as a backup, but we really have to find a way to upgrade the position. Knox doesn't block well and literally has some of the worst hands in the league for a pass catcher. It's a joke that he's remained the starter this long and a testament to how bad our backups are. [B]OLine:[/B] As mentioned earlier, keep Dawkins and Brown. The rest should be on the table. Morse isn't bad, but we can use his contract to free up much needed cap space. The guards are pretty bad. [B]Quarterback:[/B] Josh Allen is good. Still takes too many terrible sacks and he's taken at least a slight step backwards this season, but he's still one of the best QBs out there and thank god for that. [/QUOTE]
