If they're gonna surprise us and have a competitive season and playoff contention, Akers has to have a good season. They really need to take heat off of Stafford.
Without much of a running game and protection, he had tunnel vision for Kupp. Too much. Defenses will let Kupp have his 10 catches 100+ yards and a TD if no one else contributes.
Thats what seemed to happen last year. They need to get him spreading it around more. They can't do that without a legit run game and better protection.
