The rest of the league must respect and fear our offense, we have a probowl QB, a pair of estimated WRs, a new best in the draft slot WR, a 2nd rated RB from the draft to complement K9, and added depth in OL. We have one of the best ensemble of skill players, and plenty of continuity under the same system.

I think Hawks on paper are the most well balanced offense in the NFC IMO.

A lot of the other NFC teams have a good pairing of WRs and RBs. But very few have the quality and depth at WR, RB and TE like the Hawks.
Our offense was ranked #9 in points scored, no reason to think we couldn't be top 5!

Geno in his 2nd year and not just getting his feet wet?

The weapons that we have - and I have to admit - I was 'against' a WR3 a little while ago, but just who we picked up changed my mind.

We got depth at RB, and we have what I think could be in the top 2 or 3 for a receiver set.

Sky's the limit as far as I'm concerned. Even If Waldron doesn't get to play with the TE boys as much.... i'm ok with that ;)

We are so on the same page, I think our offense must be feared by other teams.

We have good to excellent offensive personnel across the board - one of the most stacked offensive units in the NFL.

Geno's actual performance this year will be the deciding factor.

Anywhere from top 3 to mediocre is possible.

Our offensive line play will have to improve for us to take the next step. Yes, we had the 9th best offense last year, but I think about our games against good defenses and how they were able to completely shut down our run game--like how the 49ers in the first game held us to 36 yards rushing and 2.6 yards per attempt.

Hopefully, with one year's experience, our two tackles will be better this year. Evan Brown appears to be an upgrade over Blythe, and if Bradford and Olawatimi become plus contributors, the line can be better than last year, maybe even significantly better.

We have definitely added weapons with JSN and Zach Charbonnet. If Waldron can integrate them into his scheme successfully and continue to innovate and evolve his offense, we may see a team that can move the ball against the 49ers.

What good is a fearful offense if your defense is always on the field ?
