I would agree with you IF we can run the ball effectively on offense. We all know the pass offense will be far below average so its really on the run game to control things.
If we can't run the ball well the defense will be on the field too much. I don't care how talented you are on that side of the ball, if you are never given a break you will wear down late in games. Not to mention injuries start piling up if they are on the field too much.
The difference between 4 wins and 8 is truly the run game.
Agree, how well we run the ball will be the biggest difference in our win total.
I've predicted between 5 to 8. Seems right in the range of what you have. Anything less than 4 to me is a colossal failure and tells me we regressed as a team.
If our running attack is really good, this team could win 8 games, as long as McCown isn't a 100 percent disaster at QB. I know he's going to be bad, but as long as he's not turning the ball over at a huge rate.
I went with 6. Because I think the running game will be good, and not great. And I do think McCown will be a complete disaster at QB.
I think this coordinator is going to have the offense playing like their heads are glued onto their asses too.
