No way in Hell are we a top-ten team without Rising and Kuithe at full strength. If Rising plays, who is he going to throw the ball to? When Kincaid and Kuithe went down he did nothing but run the ball and got himself injured.
Unless Rising has either learned to throw to his WRs or found another favorite TE that also happens to be otherworldly dominant, our throw game will struggle. I don’t know how he could have learned something like that when he hasn’t been healthy enough to practice since he last played in a real game.
I have hope, but not faith or belief at this point that things will be okay.
