Warren, Taylor and Defense
In my mind the biggest addition to this offense hasn't been DJ, it has been Warren. Take away his play and I think we are close to a .500 team. Not only his receiving (guy has incredible hands, power and a sense of where to be) but his blocking have been instrumental. If Minshaw had him and this JT he would have looked every bit as good as DJ.
We will go as far as Taylor can take us. It worries me because in this NFL nobody has done this (won with a running game) in decades. Not sure it can be done but with the correct defense maybe. And I think we just might have the defense when we get Ward back. Can't remember a defense with two shut down corners (maybe the 49ers with Lott/Wright) but we have them. This defense could be special and carry us especially if we get healthy
