I'm with you.We gave up the 2nd most sacks in the league last yr and despite drafting an off lineman #1 it doesnt look improved.My gut feeling is the pressure forces Kirk into some turnovers.
Unless Jay shows something on offense that he hasnt shown in preseason this looks like a loss to me.
If I was the coach I would have Kirk running the pistol as much as possible to slow down the Dolphins pass rush and they wont be expecting it.I wouldnt have Kirk run with it as much as RG did in 2012,but he would need to keep it at least a couple times to make it legit.I do not fear injury on his part,he's smarter than Griff and not built like a stick.
If we run the same vanilla offense I think they stuff the run and force Kirk into turnovers

OK -- 2015 team captains:

Offense: Trent Williams (hard to argue with this)
Defense: Dashon Goldson (say wha...? no Kerrigan? DHall? a guy who just got here and may or may not be a solution at that position?)
Teams: Tress Way (sure -- why not)

I know it doesn't really matter, but Goldson seems an off choice.

C'mon, man! Show a little optimism while we still can!

Sacks last year: Many of them were caused by RGIII's inability to operate in the pocket.

OL Not Improved: That may take some time, but Moses looks improved and Scherff is a keeper, so it should get better in time.

Vanilla Offense: Preseason is all about evaluating players, thus the vanilla offense. The major difference in our offense during the regular season will be seeing our big-time playmakers operate. All Kirk needs to do is get the ball into the hands of his playmakers on target and on time.

Yes off line WILL get better but I don't see it happening in this game. Plus we don't have a good tight end to help the running game and I hope our coach is smart enough not to tip the defense off on what we are going to do with our tight ends.
I do not think we can win this game straight up, we need a gimmick, and that would be Kirk (or Colt)running the pistol
