I would hope/expect the OL is better this year with Volson, Karras, and Cappa having much more familiarity with the system and each other, plus the addition of Orlando Brown.
Chase Brown is also (much) faster than Perine, which could/should add more explosiveness.
Spot on, the running game can definitely be more explosive with what you say here Ocho. No question about it. We will see who wins
out at RT too and if it is Carman, he can be a mauling run blocker at times which could really help the running game. Jonah does look
really good though this Offseason from what we seen and if he can stay healthy he could still get better in run blocking.
Chase Brown as you say is much more explosive than Samaje Perine for sure. Vision is also a strength of Brown's, which is huge.
Trayveon also can be explosive he just hasn't had many snaps, he has still averaged 5.1 YPC.

As I've said before it's not returning to 1975 ram it down their throat with Earl Campbell stuff. It's being able to pick up those 3rd and 2 and 1/2 yards. It's being able to run in the redzone. It's breaking off a few 7 yard + runs in the game. Make the D respect the run.
Yep, it is about balance. As Miyagi says balance in everything, not just karate lol
