Running game or no running game? What do you all think?

Unfortunately, not optimistic about our ability to pound them with the run game. I think getting Cedric Baker back will be big for us, although it is going somewhat unnoticed. It will be nice to have 3 capable backs to throw at them but I still think Jamal taking off will likely be where we get most of our rushing yards.
The backs should be a factor in the passing game though. I've been pleased to see an increase in screen plays and swing passes the last few weeks, which should be effective again. I hope I'm wrong but I just do not have confidence that our offensive line will open up many holes for us.
If I had to guess, I'd say about 225-250 passing yards and 100-125 on the ground.

LOL, 100-125 yards on the ground is much more optimitic than what I was thinking! I do agree the RBs will probably get some yards recieving, if they dont, we're likely in trouble.
I tend to think conservatively on Baker being back, the staff has not really had a great track record regarding public info on injuries.

Well, I was figuring Jackson to pick up 40 or so scrambling and getting only 60-85 out of the running backs. I really hope we are both wrong and they do much better. Getting Matt Ruff back should sure up that right side of the line, hopefully we can get a push. If the line can create holes, I think we have the backs to take advantage even if Baker cannot go.
