Quietly, our offensive line is having a strong beginning in these games. Granted they have given up some sacks and CP only ran for 90 yards last week (Betts had like, 34yds) but it must be taken into consideration that Jansen is playing with 8 FINGERS! I don't think Denver has faced an O line as good as ours yet. KC was missing Roaf and Jacksonville doesn't boast our talent. This will be the key to Sunday's game: How well the O line protects MB and opens holes for CP and Ladell will decide the game. As the season progresses and the line continues to jell, look out.

Dirtbags will be on NFL Today by week 8.
Trying to be humble as we get trashed all over the media.

I am surprised that with the exception of the Chicago game, we have been winning thanks to our passing game. It seems like the boys are really pass protecting well, but not run blocking so well.

Someone please update me on Jansen's thumbs. I would like to think that first one he broke would be close to getting well. Wasn't it August when he broke it?

I think it is. I heard that the one he first broke will be in a smaller cast very soon.

the run blocking has been average at best. pass blocking has been great
I'm really surprised we've struggled a bit running the ball. We definitely need to get Portis cranking soon.

There's no reason for us to believe he will this weekend besides the fact that it's DENVER, but something is telling me he'll break out of it this weekend.
Maybe it'll be the fact that they won't be able to load the box because our passing game is so much better, I just feel it.

Jansen is playing with 8 FINGERS!
Uh, yeah...
What the hell does an OLineman need fingers for? To get holding penalties? I think they should put them in fingerless gloves and be done with it. There is FAR too much holding in the league, it is hurting the game.
