Our d may keep us in some games...but this isn't 2000. The game and rules have evolved. IF the o line steps up....this team can do good things before Mediocre Marv chokes in round 1 of the playoffs again. If not....the defense won't let us lose more than 8 games.
Yep. Essentially if the offensive line is bad...the defense is going to have to create a lot of turnovers to compensate.
To do that, we'll need a good pass rush and I feel we've improved in that area.
Mixon and Bernard being able to catch well helps the offensive line as we can use screen passes to keep the defense from blitzing constantly.
