Great post...I like the fact that you took the time to look at everything. This team has alot of what ifs. I think some of the major issues are DJ's game management, keith ellison being the weak link in our lb corps, the O line gelling, but it cant be worse than last year, they just didnt run block well. The other thing that really concerns me, like you stated is november and December at the Ralph. I just dont think Trent can handle the weather. Hopefully he proves us all wrong. Also, as much as I think lynch is a quality back, he needs to learn to hit the whole with alot more conviction. Something maybe he can learn from Fred Jackson. That guys sees a hole and is gone. Something else to ponder, if the first three games Jackson rushes for over 100 in each along with some catches, who is the starter at RB then in game 4? Dont you think the guy that does all the right things on and off the field should be rewarded?
