If they can't open up holes for the run game.....yet again.....the defense will tee off on the pass rush, no matter how well Dalton reads. He is very good at that, no doubt, but if they're in the backfield as fast as they were last season, it won't matter. This season hinges on line play. I don't think they're bad enough to keep us from 8 wins.....but I'm not convinced they're good enough to get us much more than that.
Yep. It's Football 101: If you don't have solid offensive and defenses lines, you're not going to have very much success. The front office essentially ignored the oline this offseason, which was/is a very glaring issue and sadly I think the team will pay for it.
Again, hoping very much I'm wrong and that I'll get a chance to eat some delicious crow at some point.
