I'm not truly convinced that an NFL team can win a Super Bowl relying on an air attack.

We all know Joe Gibbs conveted ball control. Heck, he even used two tight ends most of the time. He had the perfect system for winning, and I don't care that it was in the 1980s.

I still think that system would work today.

I know we'll be more exciting and I do have faith in SS. I saw glimpses of how a passing game could be used to control the ball. But nothing takes time off a clock or keeps a defense on a field better than running the ball between the tackles for five yards a pop.

I'm very curious with the improvement at WR and OL and Ramsey feeling more comfortable, how many times we'll run the ball and in what situations.

Yeah... I forgot about him... Also I couldn't think of a second guard I liked.

Unfortunately the fun n gun system requires the qb to throw a lot more and focuses less on the running game. At times it can be too predictable, but can also be confusing for db's. In this day and age I think spurrier will need to shift more focus to the running game. Of course balance is important now. For Instance, the bills have gone from an all out air attack to a more balanced offense this season because they blew a lot of leads last season. Trung Candidate will have to prove himself in order for the Defenses to respect the running game.

50-50 Pass to Run, or run to pass. That's what it takes.

i'd say 60/40 pass

Well I think Spurrier will do whatever it takes to win. At least I hope he will.
