Until we get some strength and lineman with the ability to knock people off the los, no back we have is going to average 4.3-4.7 a carry like the FO is saying they want.
Our road to the SB is really simple, keep JoeyB on his feet and open up holes in the running game. Thats it.
Oh and sign Higgins already. Are we seriously going to risk losing a guy like Tee because we're looking to sign guys cheap?
You forgot stopping the run.
1. Keep Joe upright.
2. Stop the run
3. Better run game (helps keep Joe upright & leads to more explosive pass plays).
4. Better interior pass rush.
Nada in the trenches.
Though, Moss is a better pass blocker than Mixin and Sample a good blocking TE. So I guess we have helped a bit.
