How am I contradicting myself? Denver had a great offensive line and philosophy and allowed guys like Olandis Gary (!) to run for over 1,000 yards. But they weren't game-changing yards, they looked good in the stat book. And make no mistake about it, Denver did not win those SBs because of Elway, he played terribly in those games. They won because they had a legit superstar RB in Terrell Davis, who was deadly in the red zone. I think yardage-wise, our rushing attack will look very good, maybe even matching the output from last year. But again, most of that yardage is noise, it means nothing, because most of it comes between the 20s. The real question is, can we get that same red zone, penetrating rushing attack we had last year, with our current crop of running backs? Yes, Romo obviously helps because he is one of the elite QBs in the game today, but without red zone efficiency from a running game, even the great QBs can only do so much.
