Less penalties. Specifically less drive killing penalties. I'm sick of getting into range and penalties knocking us out, making it third and long instead of third and short, etc. Penalties directly lost us games. If not for penalties we would have probably hit the playoffs with 2 more wins (First SF game for example)..

That's a good one, and I'm sure it's high on Fish's list too. Another year in each system will help too.

There's a lot obviously. I guess mine could be the Pead, and Richardson combo. These guys got some big shoes to fill. I have no doubt they will though. I'm very excited to see these two after another full offseason, and behind the new line. I like Pead, but I HOPE this guy is putting in work like the rest of the team this offseason. From his recent tweets it sounds like it. I heard rumors that he thought the #2 spot was a given, and felt false entitlement. I would love for Marshall to come mentor these two guys at camp this year. You can be great in this league, but you gotta work for every single thing you get. Oh, and pass blocking. Someone is gonna have to do it out of the backfield this year.

I think increased number of TD's through the ground should be more important...we didn't have that many at all.

I voted Quick though

Precisely. But, "through" the ground just sounds like Bugs Bunny tunneling to Albuquerque.

Other than that, I agree a hunnid percent.

Lets see what Chief Goodell does of our new tactic :)

I picked Other. I think the offense as a whole is going to be vastly improved this season.

Pead and Quick will both show why they were taken that high. Long and Saffold at the tackle positions is a big upgrade. Watkins will be who they signed him to be. Givens will have another year after a pretty damn good second half of the season. Gannaway will pound the rock to wear down defenses when we have a lead and maybe even to set up Pead early in games. Richardson will provide additional sparks. And I think they will still add another weapon for Sam AND more fresh bodies for the O-line.

I voted "other"

All of the above.

All of the areas you listed can be improved upon. With Sacks needing the least improvement.
