So they added a running back who won't do much in the way of power running. And a tight end who is basically just a slightly larger and slightly slower wide receiver, not much of a plus for the running game. Both skilled players, but really just adding options for Goff when he gets the ball out quickly enough.

It sounds like they're going to let opponents get away with not worrying much about getting overpowered. Offenses can work like this, but you need your quarterback to make great decisions quickly.
