I am going to commit the ultimate sacrilege and say coaching. Yes, coaching. I am worried about whether we will try to be a Gibbs smashmouth offense or a Saunders play action offense. That schizophrenia killed us last year when players didn't know the schemes and seemed confused as to what kind of team we were. And our inability to establish offensive rhythm resulted in far too many 3-and-outs and caused our D to be on the field far too long (not to mention hindered the development of our new QB).

Maybe the focus on "run first" in the last part of the season will carry over, although it begs the question of what role Gibbs envisions for Saunders. It would seem a waste to have him calling plays for a Joe Gibbs offense.

If we can commit to some scheme that makes sense given our personnel, I think we have enough talent to get 9 wins and maybe more, even with only 1 proven WR with injury issues (let's not forget Cooley) and even with real questions on the D line (which should be better with a better secondary and better LBs -- who I expect to blitz, and I salivate at the prospect of Taylor or Landry coming off a safety blitz).

So with the understanding that criticizing the coaching may result in my future postings to be re-directed to a Dallas fan site, I still think this is a real impediment, albeit a solvable one.

Those numbers would show the type of progression that I would like him to make. And his starts last year indicated that you're probably right on.

What I want to know is how will those numbers translate into wins. And furthermore, will those numbers overcome another anemic defensive year?

I don't think those numbers I mentioned are unrealistic at all, those are the exact averages (over a full season) he had in his 7 games last year.

I'd like to see around 3500 yards and a few rushing td's. If he can be between 58-60% we'll look great.
