Quote:honestly I see it happening. 1500/15 TD is about what he did last year, with a little more production. This whole "passing numbers will go down" crowd is nuts. Its by far our strength on offense and we will likely run a little more, but certainly with a revamped defense I imagine we will get plenty more opportunities on offense. Pass to score, run to win.

While I can understand the thoughts of the "passing numbers decrease" crowd, there's also two other factors that could increase passing numbers. First is that with a strong run game, teams will no longer be teeing off on Blake opening better match ups/opportunities in the passing game. Also as you mentioned, a defense that gets more stops gives the offense the ball more often.
