I think the OL and the run game will be better this year than last


Despite there being less "talent" on the OLine, they will be better coached, have better schemes and therefore be more effective. Rudolf is a good as they get and I believe he is going to take bad (our OLines have been bad) and make it OK this year. An OK OLine (one where the QB doesn't run for his life after 1 step and backs get to the line before having to dodge a defender) will make our mediocre RBs better than last year and will allow the 2 QBs we have that are better than what we had to be better.

Add any kind of route tree for the receivers and who knows how good the offense can be. Despite the supposed talent we had last year and everyone is upset about losing, they were never open and when they were BB couldn't get it to them because he was running for his life.

I think those types of improvements coupled with a better attitude are worth 2 wins and I predict 8 wins. Not because we will be great, but we won't be so self destructive and we have about as easy a schedule as we can have.
