Here’s the most positive spin I can give on the defense. They won’t be on the field that much.

Last year, we couldn’t help putting the ball in the end zone with big chunk plays on offense. This year will be different.

We’re going to establish a heavy run game by imposing our will with the OL. We’ll still see Nuss sling it, but I think we’re going to be eating a lot more clock this year.

This in turn, will give our defense minimal time on the field.

Even if they were as bad as last year (which I absolutely don’t see that happening) they’ll be less of a factor due to much less time on the field.

This, this is what Kelly wants to do with his offense, follow everywhere he’s been, he utilizes his strengths, always has. Kelly likes the TE position. He will run 11 Personnel, one RB and one TE, but don’t be shocked to see formations with 12 and 13 more often. He has a very good OL, four of those guys could be headed to NFL camps this time next year. Having true TE’s, both good in blocking and catching, are a major plus. Kelly likes a player that does his job, well rounded with the position, why do you think Josh Williams, a WalkOn, gets so much playing time?

If you remember, against aTm last season, we went with 14 personnel, 1 RB and 4 TE’s. It was 7:57 in the 3rd quarter.
