Offensively we do a lot of stuff well. We have great YAC receivers and a wonderful QB situation. We have a two headed monster at RB, possibly the leagues' top TE, and an offensive line that is one of the better lines in the league. We just have flaws in the little points of offense that make scoring in the redzone and sustaining drives difficult. We were horrible on 3rd/4th and short last year and at running the ball in the red zone as there are numerous examples. Those things are really critical to being a successful offense, and are not easily fixed.

A talented blocking TE would be a good start though.

I dont know about that. Fauria was supposed to be a good blocking TE. I do not know yet how much he really helped.

Well, he certainly failed the eyeball test.

Fauria is and was not ever a good blocker. It shouldn't be shocking to us that he sucked at blocking. He was a short range goalline target in his heyday, and that never changed.

I didn't like the signing when we made it, and I'm glad he's gone.

I am merely stating what the so called experts claimed that he was. I didn't say it. I was dumbfounded by the signing and relieved by the release.
