For the team to become a playoff team, an above average team, we are going to have to be able to balance the run and pass a little better. Hopefully we start this weekend.

Agreed, running on the Giants and Cowboys is going to be a lot tougher than running on the Rams or Cardinals. Hopefully Gibbs & company are coming up with some ways to threaten the defense.

The only way to loosen up coverage on Santana Moss is to have a decent 2nd receiver. Taylor Jacobs HAS to step up in a major way. We can probably get by with a marginal game from him against the Cardinals, but we're going to need him next week against the Cowboys. A healthy James Thrash wouldn't hurt either.
