Top five running back, o-line, TE, and WR set along with a the best OC and Head coach in the league. Thinking if we had a top five QB to match it. There is only one flaw on this team but brunell is still an average to good QB. His knee was banged up late. He can produce with these players around him. Last yera he was playing great but it got rough in the last 3 games due to the absence of thomas and brunell's injury he suffered in the giants game.

The only other problem with our team(problem- meaning not top 10) is our run defense. It is weak. I hope carter can do more than bum rush the QB. The LBs have taken a big hit from 04 with pierce. He was an amazing player before the snap. Our DBs are top 5 in the league so if our running defense can hold up i see great things. In GW we trust.

To be great we need brunell to play slightly above average(which he can), our defense to stop the run and get pressure on the QB, and the o-line to stay healthy. I want to see carter at the scrimmage and at camp SO bad.

I agree the run defense needs to be consistent and dominant. They already have the swagger of being the best. Run stoppage is what all good defenses take pride in. Before Gregg Williams (I know this is gonna get some smart remarks) who else was as good as disguising and depending upon the secondary to do the front 4 or 7's job of blitzing and run support?? With the tweaks they have made I'd expect the only problem would be that Offenses would go 4 and out leaving me mad they couldn't stay longer on the field.
