Yes. It's Trent + Scherff + Guice. It's that combo that gives you what amounts to an imposing running threat. Guice without those two won't do much. Guice with them seems like something that strong safeties need to key on, freeing up our shitty (until proven otherwise) passing game just enough.
That's what will make this offense work in a complimentary football approach, going hand in hand with a stout defense. It's a formula that can grind out 9-10 wins.
The Trent issue needs to be resolved, though. I'm not panicking over it, I think if the Skins stared him down he'd show up Week 1 and play under his current contract. But the guy deserves a few million more and I'd make reasonable efforts to increase his pay.
