For starters, lets hope that Blakes issues are a thing of the past and we'll see better performance this season. What I was wanting to point out here though is this; a good offense starts with a good offensive line. If this is overlooked, it's like trying to repair a cracked foundation by putting on new siding. It looks better at first, but the core problem is still there!

 

Our priorities (imho) should be:

#1. our offensive line

#2. our quarterback (get him some competition)

#3. a decent running back.

 

In the modern game, you don't have to have to get an elite running back... just a fairly good one. On the other hand, an elite running back (we had one in MJD, remember), nor an elite quarterback (rare as diamonds in the front yard), will save you if you have a lack luster offensive line. Back when we used to have a really good offense, it wasn't because Brunell was 'awesome' (it did help to have Fred, Jimmy, and Kenan), but because we had a really good offensive line. Better than any we've had since those days.

 

We've had success in the past; we need to repeat what made us successful before. Of course, elite offensive linemen don't grow on trees either, but there it is.
