You know what else we need to remember. Our offense only needs to improve. They don't have to be stellar. Look at how much the NFC blew last year. Other than the Eagles, where was the threat. I think the playoffs are a realistic goal, if the rest of the NFC continues to blow as badly. Of course, it would be nice to win a couple of games in our division.

Too bad we play a butt load of teams from the West this year...

Hopefully this happens, but I agree with skinny. The running game will come down to having a passing game. If we can show that we CAN hurt them with our passing game then we're set.
And the passing game will come down to having a running game................

Monk - when the other team has every player "except the two guys guarding our WR's" in the box, it makes running hard. We're going to have trouble running until we prove that we can hurt you deep if you don't respect us.
Obviously we're a running team, but until we establish that we can pass - our running game won't be able to produce as much as we'd like.

With Jansen back, an upgrade at center in Rabach, it should help BOTH the running and passing game...........Portis will get the holes to run through, and Ramsey will get the protection to throw deep...........

Doesn't matter if he has a whole the size texas when there are 3 extra guys waiting on 2 feet on the other side.

Agreed with Daseal here. Normally the run sets up the pass, but everyone last year feared our run and no one cared about our ability to throw the ball... Especially deep. They could keep a lot of guys in the box which stifles the running game but also closed alot of the short passing lanes... And if you remember last year all it was was short passes we were throwing.
