Ask Me Anything with TCUDan starts now

I'm not banking on any deliberate philosophical/schematic changes. I think, from a personnel standpoint (compared to last season), we're gonna see the passing game opened up a little more. I think it'll be closer to what we saw in 2009/2010/2011, pushing the ball more downfield, passing early to get a lead and using the running game to close things out. As long as Jameis is fully recovered from the ACL, I think they're gonna let him loose a little.

MT + Olave changes the offense, without a doubt. Probably way more than Pete Carmichael taking over primary play-calling duties.

Honestly I hope they don't go back to doing that. What works for us was a good running game, balance attack that resulted in less turnovers. This resulted us 3 straight NFC south title. And of course we still don't know what we have in Winston, especially come back from ACl. Yes I would like for us to push the ball down field a little more than last year and allow the offense to open up.

But speaking of Carmichael, how confident do you feel in him calling the plays full time now? Even though things might stay the same somewhat, but Payton was the one calling the plays all these years and understand situational football. I am not going to lie. I am a little nervous about it.
