We already needed speed at WR, but RB could be higher on the wishlist than we think.

This is the new NFL. It's a passing league.

Look no further than the participants in Sunday's Super Bowl. Both are ranked at the bottom half of the league with the rushing attack.

We'll be ok

Yeah but these defensive-minded head coaches always think the same way. They always want to be a ground and pound team.

We just don't know enough yet to dismiss any possibility as a bad move.
Don't know if you remember when Payton served his suspension but PC called the O, really good year. I personally thought the 2011 season when PC was calling plays for the O was just as good if not better than the "greatest show on turf " Rams. Give PC a qb that can hit the deep ball (Winston) with a few good solid rb.'s (3 headed monster) a good TE and a couple good FA WR and I don't think there is a better OC out there that could match him. So if Allen would get rid of PC I do think it would be bad. PC is that good. But there always a lot of what if's.
