So I think that part of Denver's offense is going to be very, very interesting to watch, but usually the third year of Sean Payton system is when a quarterback I'm told really becomes, it takes ownership to it, but they're changing play callers in that sense.

And then with Herbert, this is a big change too.

I think they're still going to run the ball at times.

I think this is still going to be Harbaugh's offense, but what Mike is going to bring...

is these a variety of run concepts and that they can go heavy personnel to protect him and protect him a little bit better.

And he's playing, you know, this, these late games and we know he's lost these postseason games, but he's healthier, I think would be, you know, beneficial to a sense.

His receiver group needs to step up.

And I know that they really expect that they've been looking at receivers and they haven't really pulled the trigger on maybe Keenan Allen comes back.

I don't know, but they need Ladd-McCaulkey in that group to kind of take another step.

But again,

I think they're looking to really make sure they can run the football in a variety of ways.

And I think people forget that that was Mike's really bread and butter is running the football.

I think so, because I think there's a durability factor.

A.J.

is one of the hardest workers I've been around, but at the same time, these knee issues have not gone away.

He's managed them brilliantly.

They were a concern for the Rams.

It's one of the reasons why the Rams kind of backed out of the deal.

The other part was they couldn't get a deal done to send probably DeMonte Adams elsewhere.

They had to do both at the same time.
