would never critize lebby if every offensive play going forward was a 40-50 yd pass. Shapen may never actually adjust to the additional time he has to throw now.

Thompson’s speed is special. Evans less refined but you can tell the potential is there.

Having home run hitters can make up for a lot of deficiencies you may have otherwise. It is hard to sustain lengthy drives when you have an average to below average OL, which we do. More plays often means more opportunities for drive killers (sacks, penalties, turnovers). When you have guys that can get open and score from 50+, it’s a significant equalizer. And it’s not something we have had very often in our history.
