their running game is good cause their QB can make the 40-50 yard passes on a regular basis, so you can't stack the line...

That Guy,
Re-read my post, I said 'the long ball will help, but will not solve ALL of our offensive problems'.
The Vikings offensive line is protecting Culpepper, he has time to step up and throw. Also if you watched the Vikings game, you would have seen even in short yardage situations, the Seahawks "stacked the line" and played short yardage defense (8-9 men in the box) the Vikings offensive line still pushed the seahawk defense back and got first downs. The Viking line is big and impressive.
Our offensive line is not impressive at this point. They are not giving our QB's time and they are not getting done in short yardage this year.
Thats all. The long ball is not the only thing wrong with our offense. While it will help in regular offense sitations, it will not help in goal line and short yard, where we have been also seriously lacking.
