I'm looking forward to seeing the offense

[justasportsfan]

Especially in the redzone We've got bruising backs that won't just go down to go with our huge OL.

I was impressed by the hands of the TE we drafted, Schouman . He's got the ability to go deep. Should be interesting to see if Faichild will go with a 2 TE set.

If JP perfects his short passes and our OL holds up ,we may have a potent O.

Re: I'm looking forward to seeing the offense

the red zone will be key because with this D, we need touchdowns every time down the field. FG's won't cut it.

We should just cut Lindell and force our O to go for it every 4th down.

Outside of getting another receiver, they did about all they could to upgrade the offense this off-season - I'm praying it pays off.

I still have concerns about the right side of the offensive line. Seems like they have more options now but none are proven. Granted, it can't be any worse then last year.

That's what we said about the run D in 2005, but we actually gave up more rushing yards in 2006....

repetitive, as always. Besides, any insight contradicting your opinions is considered automatic homerism. So why bother?

repetitive, as always.

well, when people start LISTENING and stop ignoring what they don't want to hear, maybe I can stop being repetitive.

Every time I mention the flaws in the D, I always get "well, the offense is better so that will take pressure off the D and make the D better."

Well, guess what? That only works if the red zone offense clicks- we're going to need sustained drives that end in 7 points. If the O stifles and gets 3, then the opposing O marches right down and scores 7, the O isn't making the D better like everyone seems to think.

Don't dismiss valid points just because you don't want to hear the truth.

I had a VALID point about the red zone offense, which is related to what you said in the initial post.

Your opinion does not equal truth. We don't know the D will be worse until they play. The starting LB's are younger and faster and the D line now has a complete rotation for once. The only question mark is CB and maybe LB depth. The negative question marks you put on the O can be put on both sides of the ball and can be put in a negative or positive reference.

Considering that we are set up to have a very good rushing attack, that would mean more clock to kill which would in turn keep our defense fresh. Most people that has ever played a sport knows the more energy an athlete has, the higher their performance level will be. Factor in a rotation of 4-5 decent DT's instead of 2.5 like last year, this should increase likelihood of penetration on both running and passing lanes.

Your little game can be both played both ways whether you like it or not.
