Pretty excited with the skill set/talent level and thinks that Frank's scheme will complement the talent level to multiply the improvement we will get from the talent alone.

If Howard is the weakest link, I will take that.
PFF scores for Howard last 6 years. Scores in the 60s are replacement level, scores in the 70s are NFL average, scores in the 80s are NFL good.
2012 = 77.4 (16 games started; 16 games played)
2013 = 74.9 (16 games started; 16 games played)
2014 = 53.1 (16 games started; 16 games played)
2015 = 82.6 (13 games started; 13 games played)
2016 = 66.9 (10 games started; 11 games played)
2017 = 71.6 (16 games started; 16 games played)
He is an average NFL starting OT whom has had some good years (2012, 2015), some bad years (2014) and some average years (2013, 2016, 2017).
In an intelligence scheme, with an intelligence QB, with quality line play next to him, I think he will be average which will be a hugh step up from what we have observed recently.
