I'm all about that hot corn bread too, my dude, but nothing has me ready to credit them with any type of run game yet. Don't know when they're gonna stop bullshytting and insert Reiff into the starting lineup, no idea when Best will be back (if he ever plays again), and don't know how Lesbour will look coming off a torn Achilles. And the first team has looked terrible so far in regards to rushing.
That doesn't mean the team won't improve though. While the numbers may not be as gaudy, I expect the passing attack to improve. I think Young Titus is ready to take the next step and be our #2, and Stafford should be improved as well on 3rd down effectiveness with even more weapons. Plus I think our d will be better than last year with Fairley being a regular contributor now that he's healthy. Plus a huge part of the reason why our secondary was getting raped those last few games is because of Delmas being out. That's our best player in the back 7. Still don't know how they'll perform against the run if Gunther insist on running that wide 9, but we'll see. They definitely have the tools to make a sustained run in the division, as long as the Madden curse is gentle.
I actually don't expect anything out of Fairley and LeShoure, but Delmas coming back is gonna be huge. Eventually Reiff gonna be in the starting lineup and I think they'll be effective enough running the ball to where Stafford won't have to throw every down.
I just refuse to believe the Bears will be better than the Lions.
Lol @ the kid saying saying the Lions haven't proven shyt; like the Bears have?
