I'm sure we all were thinking that he "could" play, but hearing Caldwell actually explicitly state that Sanders could make his debut is very assuring.

Running Game

It's been rather blatantly obvious for the past few weeks-- oh, who are we kidding-- the ENTIRE SEASON, that our rushing game has been a bit less effective than that of last year and of years past.

I mean, even with the Addai/Stonehands combo, we racked up around 1700 yards. Unless we magically manage to rush for about 600 yards against the Titans' D, it seems like we're likely to have quite a bit less than that.

It's demoralizing to constantly have to watch your team's running backs get runs of 1-3 yards... no one needs to remind me.

 

The question is... where does fault lie? Is this a fairly talented rushing attack that is merely suffering because the offensive line is completely inept at run blocking, or are Rhodes and Addai simply losing their touch?

...or, possibly something entirely different? Blame Dungy? Blame Polian? Blame aliens for stealing our team's talent in some sort of Space Jam-esque plot? I'm interested to hear this forum's thoughts...
