Surely the offense can only get better without TO.

I want to see Reno on the depth chart at WR.

they'll HAVE to run the ball more if TO's out, right?

I would expect them to throw to Billy McMullen at least 15 times a game.

they wont be able to run it very well if TO is out. Every defense will stack the line every play. Greg Lewis and Reggie Brown are not going to draw many double teams.

Oh horseshtein. We ran the ball just fine in 2003 without TO. Christ people have short memories.

General_Failure · October 31, 2005, 12:40:24 PM

Surely they're better run blockers than TO. We have to improve somehow with him off the field.

MURP sucks as a lead blocker. He's no Ritchie.

Why was that? Because Westbrook was hurt. Not because we didn't have TO. No threat of the run meant that the Panthers could pin their ears back and get after McNabb every single down... sound familiar? Losing TO means more running game by necessity which mean less pressure on McNabb, which means better balance and overall offensive attack. I love TO's pretty little 91-yard TDs as much as the next guy, but a quick-strike/three-and-out offense isn't gonna win us many games.

PoopyfaceMcGee · October 31, 2005, 12:47:01 PM

Westbrook was hurt, which partially led to McNabb getting hurt. The 2003 team was pretty darn good before that.

MURP · October 31, 2005, 12:56:24 PM

It's ridiculous to think you have to lose your best offensive player to be better. TO isnt calling the plays. TO isnt throwing passes that land at his feet. If the offense if forced to run without TO than just imagine what they could do if they did run with TO. That is Reids choice.

You hate TO and want to blame him for Reid not calling runs. Thats your little thing. Im not gonna argue about it, the whole thing is just stupid.
