Last year it was easy to blame Mendenhall for our lack of a running game. And this year our OL has been pretty good at pass pro, but, imo, lousy in run blocking. Now, I understand the reluctance to make changes when our bread and butter, pass pro, seems to be working, most times. But I think we need to become more two dimensional. So my suggestion is to insert Coop and Watford and see if our running game improves. If not we can always go back to Larson and Fanaika. Anyone agree?

The Cardinals ran Paul Fanaika out there on one leg rather than turn to Cooper or Watford. What's worse is that Cooper being a bust is the reason the team has two below average guards. He was drafted with the 7th pick overall to replace Snyder and then was supposed to take over for Colledge.

Two time All-Pro Carl Nicks is sitting at home.
