We had bad coaching on the OL last year, as well as bad luck, having to play our 4th string LT, and a few more injuries.
Kwon's coaching and OL health is probably the biggest area I'm looking for us to improve this year.
An OL which can do a good job opening holes and protecting the QB will make a dramatic difference, as will having an OC who will call running plays, and give help if we have an OL go down. EB did neither.
We need a rushing attack capable of getting 100+ yds from RB's per game (and need to probably average over 150 yds/game, including QB runs). Even though we only averaged 86 ypg last year, we were over 200 ypg the two years prior, and getting to 150 ypg, while staying at 240-250 passing ypg will win us a lot of games.
That said, if we get hit by another bunch of injuries, esp on the OL, and are constantly having to shuffle the starting OL, Nico won't stay healthy.
