For freeman, how he handles the offense this offseason will go a long way to define his tenure. If Jack won’t spend money on an OC again or if freeman picks another rookie I don’t think freeman gets past 5 years assuming he lasts that long

We have to jump in the deep end of offense. You need to score. Be able to score and outscore good teams. This crap we call an offense cannot go forward looking anywhere near the same as it has for all these years.
