Beyond that, our #3-4 have been in the league a combined 8 years and have combined for under 400 rushing yards.  So, they are proven nothing-burgers with no realistic hopes of taking another step.  So even if you want to argue that Moss and Brown are equivalent to other starting duos(which you gotta drink a ton of Kool -Aid to do), the atrocious depth behind them drops them below those other groups.

That’s fair on the Connor thing, and I don’t think we have anything special. This whole thing started due to them being an “easily” bottom five group. I think there are about 1/3 of the teams that are in a similar spot. I out bengals at 20-26 (or whatever option that it was), but my thinking is the continued continuity/upgrade of the OL, a healthy burrow and hopefully the playcalling from the backend of last year carries over to this year. It has less to do with the players and more to do with everything around them. Guess we will see.
