His reference of ATL doesn't make sense though in the way he was presenting them. He tries to paint them as a pass happy offense, when they were 26th out of 32 in the league in passing attempts and 12th in run attempts. They were literally a running team that got high volume passing yards because of Julio. If the niners get more passing yards it will be because of deeper attempts not because of them throwing the ball significantly more.

Literally the only reason I brought up ATL with regard to the pass is being able to utilize the whole field. I have no idea how you two get the the idea of me ever thinking of us being a pass happy offense and would like you guys share my post in this thread or the Gray thread that "presented" this thought. It's either a reading comprehension issue on your part or I didn't post what I meant to say correctly.
TBF, the only time fans bring up ATL and Kyle's teams as a YOLO 'OC' is to justify their thinking Kyle has a pass centric philosophy while not looking at the last 6 years as a 'HC.'
I understand your take. You've actually predicted less passing attempts than me this year.
I agree with your premise of using the full field more (outside the hashes and some deeper shots either by script or off script). For fun, I laid out some individual player predictions to reflect that.
So overall, you believe we'll pass around 480 times but will simply be more "explosive" within those attempts. Is that accurate?
I'm assuming you don't expect around 5K like ATL, right? That that explosiveness will reflect in similar yards as last year but with less attempts? More TD's? Higher Time to Throw but much higher CAY (air yards and average depth of target), higher volume of +15's, etc.?
Would you expect less efficiency on 3rd downs? Lower TOP? More points allowed (as a result)? Less 4 minute drills ending in points? Higher % of RZ scores? More penalties? More 3 and outs? More clunky drives followed by quick-strike explosive scores?
Have any parameters?
Maybe it would be more clear if you defined "explosive" more clearly???
These are the kinds of things I'd love to know what others think for this year.
