3. True, WC is timing, but short passes are harder to defend and don't require the OL to hold off the rush for 4-5 seconds. I don't see Hunt throwing down the sideline like last year (ala Austin). Instead, I think the coaches would like to get the ball to Parris and Moore (or maybe to the H-back) on short routes. TE's certainly fit that concept, and it's preferable to have bigger guys catching the ball in traffic. If the D'ers play up, we finally have wide-outs (Ishmael/Estime) who can stretch the field and make them pay.
4. Agree ... Hunt is good at exploiting angles, not beating a LB to the edge. Since we can't afford him to be injured, and he's decent at zone-read (option), I would like to see some pitches to either the slot or the RB. We have some talent and versatility at the slot this year ... I'm optimistic that Hunt can pitch the ball to Estime in space or even pass down field out of it.
5. Sure. Our OL is loaded with experience. So the run game has to be part of the mix, but we need to have creditable option and passing games to keep the Defenses from stacking the box.
