With the offensive line as it is we cannot consistantly run....or pass the ball. The only route to go is ultra conservative and rely on the defense. If they call one pass after another or deeper pass plays to make the fans happy Campbell will spend the afternoon running from D-lineman or on his butt. The injuries to the offensive line are killing this teams offense at the moment. We have a total of one guy starting on the O-line right now who started last season...how many other teams would be 4-2 in such a difficult situation? Gibbs ball control offense relies more on a stout offensive line then most. Balanced O and ball control wins in the playoffs in most cases...this is a time tested formula for success.

Get the O-Line healtier or the back ups up to par and the offense will show some life. Until then do whatever you can to win ball games.
