Just show me the money on this one...

- I'm not saying that I don't believe that Portis is gonna have a great year (cuz I think he will), but its still dependent on the play of the O-line and JC. Are they healthy? Are they gonna be good in this system? Will there be a learning period? Yet to be determined...but I would still tend to be reserved with my predictions of success.

- Saunders/Gibbs running game not "working" the second time around was a product of the circumstances around the team. When we had success, we had a lot of it. This was b/c the O-line was healthy and we had some leadership/consistency with our QB situation. When we were mediocre we were so b/c of injuries to the O-line and, not to mention, CP himself as well as some very suspect play at QB.

But at the very least I have some hope that we are gonna deliver on this hype. Cautious optimism as is the mantra every offseason.
