Almost everyone believes that they are better on O-Line and D-Line. If you cannot win in trenches, in this case both of them, it is very hard to win in this league.
I was hoping our D-Line can do better. In general, playing at home helps the D-Line the most because of crowd noise. But now Shoebel maybe out, or the least, play with a bad foot (which I believe he'll do), we just may not be good enough.
The last couple of years, Jauron and company fixed at least one thing in the bye week to get the team improve somewhat. Let's see if they do it again this time. If it is the running game, we are golden.
Now don't expect the Duke Preston thing being the fix. Fowler simply could not go with a bad elbow and he praticed with 1st team last week and on Monday and Wednesday this week. In fact I'm a lot more worried with Preston against Williams than Fowler.
