    They may even increase it...getting Pouncey and Moreno back

    Wonder if Lazors offense has anything to do with it?

    Yes, it does. Just in case you are not being sarcastic, spreading the defense makes it very easy to run the football. The defenses numbers advantage is eliminated.

    Lamar Miller is also running. There's significantly more effort on his part. He looks like a professional now.

    Now bring in Duke Johnson. Another month out may depress Moreno's contract demands which would make him a good guy to sign for 3-4 years. If not, Duke Johnson is a monster anyway. DUUUUUKE!, Moreno, and Miller would be an insane trio.

    I hope Pouncy's return is everything that I think it will be.

    FWIW this is how it works in the CFL, the pass sets up the run

    That's great. We finally have an offensive line capable of opening up holes for RBs to go through.

    Pretty amazing job when you think about it..gotta hand it to hickey first off then that damn good Oline coach Benton, man was his line in Houston remarkable..

    Best lineman out..five new starters...same backs...
     
  11. Buffalo was the only really good run defense they have faced so far. The rest have ranged from mediocre to miserable.

    Buffalo and the Patriots held us under 100 yards rushing. The Chiefs and the Raiders gave up big chunks of yards. It seems like a matter of the offensive line coming together. If so, it bodes well for the season.
     
  13. Chiefs and raiders run defense both are pretty bad

    Yeah, didn't Moreno have over a hundred yards himself in that Pats game.

    As a Cane fan Duke has me on the fence. Hes so shifty but can he make NFL players miss? He's gotten stronger and can run between the tackles well. IMO He fits our scheme. If we don't keep Moreno I'd take a flyer on him.

    I think a group of people deserve credit..even guys breaking down game tape. But I do think the biggest thing is the line...we are running the zone blocking scheme very well

    And we ran the ball well against Buffalo...look back ..we just gave up on it early. Also KCs run defense is no slouch

    KC dismantles NE and people still want to think it should have been an easy win. The fact is only elite teams feel like they should win every week. We aren't elite but we can be very good. Our run game may not maintain this pace but should be very good.
