PR and JG are gone. Baldwin seems to be the only quality receiver left. What I see happening, even if the protection is better, is that Wilson will not be able to find open receivers and so will be holding the ball too long.
Losing JG could be blessing in disguise. No longer will our OC be trying to jamb a round peg into a square hole, and his replacement can't help but to be a better blocker.
I wish we could have held onto PR, but he was injury prone and never really did much on special teams. Decent wide receivers are a dime a dozen. I don't think we're going to miss him.
We'll have to see what kind of affect Shott has on Russell before we worry about him holding onto the ball too long. Under Bevell, Russell seemed to be looking for the big play too often, but Schott might turn out to be more of a move the sticks OC.
