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.
