As you can see, we have actually held up well through the offensive line, and we have the least amount of carries in the league. What do you guys think? It looks as though our d will be top 10 this year, and with the running game having two potential 800 yd rushers, we would be equal to 2 years ago, when we were 10-6 with Ricky rushing for 1372 yds.

You're right, we do have a lot that has been improved over last years team. But keep in mind this team is rebuilding, it's not rebuilt.
We will most likely improve with every game.
I think we are getting sold pretty short by a lot of people. But I don't think we should expect the playoffs either.

Welcome to this site..Its an adictive wonderfull site for us dolfans!
I see what you are saying and you have some valid points but believe me...our qb situation is not looking too good now. Our o-line has only looked good in one game in pre season, Ricky is going to miss 4 games. Our schedule is one of the toughest in the NFL. Thats the reason for all the pesimistic views.

i personally am not as worried as most people here are... i think the fact that we've been passing SO much to try to determine who our QB should be when really our strength is our running game... we've averaged 19 rushes a game, with like 2 of those per game being just QB scrambles or 0 yard gains and ****... so really about 17 carries a game for our RBs... obviously we were trying to rely on the pass to gain that identity, i think our running game will be much more featured come september 11th which will help open up the passing game for whoever... not to mention number 1s on number 1s we haven't been that bad...

im surprisingly still optimistic
