My concerns of unbalanced offense at the time are well illustrated after the fact in this read - I hope this air red offense runs at least enough to execute rpo and play action. I remind fans that CJ lead the NFL in rushing, and DJ was a top rb when we actually had success - just like edge and Beanie in 2008- 2009

But there's a painful flipside to Arians' system. Because it often exchanges pass protectors for additional route runners, it also requires the five guys up front to win one-on-one battles. This approach works well when you have quick-hitting route concepts or a rock-solid offensive line.

Winston has been getting hammered in preseason. It will take him time to learn Arians system much like Palmer did.

Fans constantly harped on our oline - but they were asked to perform at an elite level with the odds against them every play. Every play was risket .
Again we go into a season not knowing what our offense is - I remember losing faith in Wilks - just one year ago, before the season started - not feeling that this year - but now we have an offensive hc - and I’ve lost faith in our defense - nothing looks good on defense
