We're missing our starting running back, quarterback, and two members of the offensive line. We shouldn't be panicking.

Do you even remember what our offense looked like in pre-season LAST year? While I don't think we're leaps and bounds above what we were last season, we actually have a reason not to be this year. Al Saunders doesn't have all the pressure in the world, and this year it ISN'T a new system. Last year we did great on the ground, without Portis.

The sky isn't falling yet, because we just simply don't know enough. To assume we can judge this offense yet is a mistake. If you ask me, I'd rather we not risk injury, and lose a superstar running back.

What would your thoughts of the preseason be if Campbell's knee was a torn ACL? I think we're making the right call to limit his time.
