Any thoughts on how the offense may change with Leary at the helm?

1. No way he has as big of an arm as Levis. I would guess we'll work short- and medium-distance routes more. We will take shots every so often but I would expect more in the midrange vs airing it out.
2. We'll use the RBs more as Leary should be more proficient in quickly making decisions and getting the ball out.
3. We'll use TEs more in the middle. I would say that's equally on Coen's playcalling, getting our best players involved and Leary's less-than-Levis' arm strength.
4. Coen will determine whether our OL is inside or outside zone proficient and adjust accordingly. Maybe Jones from Vandy can be the guy who can get those tough yards like CRod and Benny did but we'll have to see. Might be a committee thing in the backfield.
5. If Leary maintains his accuracy, I could see us using some West Coast principles at times to open up a defense that is blitz happy.
6. I hope and pray that we've seen the last of bubble screens except maybe once a game. So tired of throwing the ball sideways and getting very short yardage, if any.
7. We'll be much better in the red zone. That alone could have turned this season into a 9-win campaign.
 
Don't really care about the arm strength. Any of these guys can sling a ball deep. Levis' decision making was very poor this year, bad line or not.

As long as Leary throws an accurate ball and makes good decisions mostly, then we will have a good year.
 
I bet we cut sacks by a third (and we’ll throw it more). We’ll see if the Oline looks better wjtb a guy that gets rhe ball out

I’d look for Dane Key to go nuts. Great hands good route running. I think he’s too Wr next yeqr
