There were a handful of good runs last game, but most were stopped at line of scrimmage.

I'm hoping that RG3 coming back will help. But I wonder whether S.Long or M.Moses will be any good this year (or just false hope), and I wonder whether getting Redd more carries could help as well.. (Don't see Helu as an every down back, but he catches well.)


Seeing the gaping holes the Dallas line was creating for Murray made me envious. It seemed pretty stupid of Dallas last game to abandon their power running game to let their hobbled QB lose the game for them.

In the Tennessee game,Gannon the commentator mentioned more than once about the tight ends and especially receivers whiffing on blocks and being no help in the running game

Clifton Geathers released and Philip Thomas brought up from the PS. Hopefully he can stay healthy. We need the help at safety.
