Daryl Williams and CAP are giving me a lot of hope for our run game. Even if JSTEW misses a few games, with Todman, CAP and some solid line play, we'll be able to open up passing lanes via a strong rushing attack. I completely acknowledge KB is a HUGE loss, but all is not lost. Olsen is a beast TE and we have some speedsters on the roster at WR. If Funchess can be a fraction of what KB was last year, we can still be lethal.

Based on Oher's showing so far (yes it's early), not to mention Williams, I think our OL has improved. It's not our strength, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a laughing stock. JMO

I think that with the O-line looking better, a stout group of RBs, some speedy WRs, and Olsen we'll have enough offense to stay with our opponents. Kelvin would've made it that much better but stuff happens.

Bottom line - regardless of how it impacts our wins and losses - I hate it for KB. I think he was poised to light it up this year.

I doubt it - Ron is nothing if not mediocre. My bet is that we'll be drafting another LB with a pick in the high teens next year.
