With the elite teams shifting emphasis to a more balanced or even run heavy offense Bolton is absolutely justifiable.
The only reason Trey Smith isn't getting raked over the coals for his 2024 performance is the LT debacle. Any given Sunday he was more likely than not the second worst OL on the field and may have been a few where he actually was the worst. An absolutely brutal body of work for 2024 and I really hope they let him walk. |

They're not mutually exclusive. You can point the finger and criticize Pat all you want, and a lot of it is warranted, but also acknowledge that putting a revolving door of 4 different LTs in front of him has significantly affected him.

Bolton is also a young cat, much like Worthy is now.
He's only going to be 25 this year. |

Of course they are, both of those teams already had established quality left tackles on the roster.

A summary of some our FA options at LT...

Justin Watson WR1 by snap count, 5 LT’s, shit running game. Least explosive RB room in the league this year. Yeah I don’t want to hear the talent excuse. It’s the reason Patrick is getting mentally ****ed up

The running game absolutely does need to be addressed. Not a coincidence that most of the top offenses this year had them.

I think RB quality could be especially helpful for us too because we are never going to be a dominant run blocking team. Never have been under Andy, never will. The scheme doesn't invite it.
So having a back who can make yards on their own... that's your best shot at a top-15 ground game. |

Top offenses in PPG were as followed.
Detroit Buffalo Baltimore Tampa Bay Philadelphia All of them had at the very least a credible running game and 3 out of the 5 lean very heavily on it. |

They averaged less than 1 run of 10+ yards PER GAME. 17 runs of 10 yards or longer in an entire season and they played in the Super Bowl. That just can't happen.
Everybody wants to bitch about Andy not committing to the run, well here's the answer - get a back that can break one. Make every run count. I used to post this a lot back in the day but Kareem Hunt had only 3 games his rookie season where he had more than 20 carries IIRC. He had at least 3 where he had LESS than 10 carries, again if memory serves. He led the league. It's all about efficiency and getting the most out of every opportunity. |

Offensive line and running back are the focuses this year.
Get some protection for Pat and when Rice returns, our offense will look like it used to in years past. I'd like to get JK Dobbins on a vet minimum deal and then draft a good one possibly in the third. |
