Bakh Out For Season

[RashanGary]

Bakh ran 80 yards full speed after the contract. He was literally leaving it all on the field. Ugh.

Losing Bahk is a BIG loss, no doubt about that, especially in the passing game. I think with some luck, planning and good execution they can overcome it.

Yes - Planning! Short throws, screens....get the ball out quick. Rogers is not going to have time like he did in the Titans game to go through multiple reads. If it's not there, pull it down and run or throw it away.

Less capable at that than he used to be due to reduced mobility. See Tampa Bay game. That said, if the top 6 they have can stay healthy, they have a chance.

I know the OL being incredible was obviously a huge factor but when I think of ARod at his best, I think of Dallas 2014-2015 playoffs where he couldn't run on his bad ankle and got rid of the ball quick. I think that sort of quick passing game with LaFleur's crossing routes would be incredibly effective. Personally - I think a huge factor to success going forward will be pairing Thighland and Aaron Jones in the back field together because Jones is so dynamic as a receiving weapon. Putting those two together will make the D think twice and thus not have their ears pinned back trying to blow by less-than-stellar tackles.
