You figure you can't have one without the other. But he must be saying that DW and JS are so good they can actually be that good with a horrible o-line. The rising tide floats all boats, if you will. I think Carolina is a team that has the most question marks. I have seen predictions from 10-6 and playoff-bound to 2-14. There's a wide discrepancy. Most of the predictions for the Falcons are 9-7 to 11-5, pretty consistent. You bring up a good point about the RB/OL rankings. You figure you can’t have one without the other.

If we can't sign all three then I would prefer to keep Dahl and Clabo and let Mike Johnson take over for Blalock. I think the odd man out might be Blalock.

Cole's been all over the board with the Panthers, and in a couple of areas it doesn't really add up. Having the running backs ranked at three, and then the offensive line ranked at 19 makes no sense to me, when the o-line shares a big responsibility in the success of a running game. I also presume that included in the "RB" ranking would be fullbacks. In that case, how can the Panthers' running game rank so highly with an unproven/unknown at the fullback position? Sure, Carolina has two 1,100+ yard runners on it's roster, but a running game is only as strong as it's (now) weakest link. Since you're keeping up with Cole's stuff better than I am, I just wanted to pick your brain on that one. I don’t know.
