Trusting Ballard, as I am merely a fan

I can only assume that Ballard was influenced by the superbowl. Tampa showed that a dominant pass rush is a winning formula in today's NFL. I've never seen Mahomes as flustered by a pass rush until that game. If we can get anywhere near that, I would think the offense can do what it needs to win - assuming Wentz is the guy, and assuming we find an acceptable LT.

The last two teams Tampa played were missing their starting tackles. If anything it should hammer home how important LT is. Not to discount passrush because we need it too. But if our QB gets hurt, we aren’t going anywhere. So if we head into the season with Davenport and Tevi we are in trouble.
