Honestly I think this is DA trying to help Derek Carr out as much as possible.

The offense was completely anemic last year, Carr is good but he can't do it alone, he isn't Brees. Surround him with a good running game to take some pressure off, with change of pace backs that can all catch the ball and break tackles.

If Carmichael can get his head out of his rear, im very excited to see what the offense can do.

Need some beef on the OL to help with some of that.

The beef is there. It just needs to stay on the field. This bad luck streak of injuries has to end soon.

Precisely why we need some... injuries will happen, especially with "Popeyes Sammich" Peat.

Yeah, but the problem was we lost some of the backup beef, as well. We can easily plug one hole on the line, but not six. We can draft more bodies, but they won't do any good if bad luck hits them, as well.

As we all know, success on the offensive line, more than any other grouping, depends upon consistency and repetition. They have to know exactly what the guy on their left and/or right is doing on every play and that is dependent on what the defense throws at them. Seventeen different offensive line combos in seventeen weeks doesn't build that success.

Drew did have Deuce, Reggie, Pierre, Mark and AK.

Right. And to your point, was it 2011 when the Saints ran out of options at RB and they couldn't run the ball any longer--therefore not making it to their 2nd Superbowl?

Vernon Davis was covered by our RBs?

Harper and Jenkins might've done better at RB than at Safety that day...
