Is good enough to win us the Super Bowl this year.

Bryan Anger is undoubtedly the best punter in the NFL, All-Pro, pro bowl, all world, and the complement of gunners (Kelvin Joseph and CJ Goodwin) are among the best in the NFL as well.

Tony Pollard and the run game is awesome. We get the tough yards as well as the splash plays on the ground when we need them.

As for the defense... another 4 takeaway game... lock-down coverage, ferocious pass rush, solid early-down run defense.

We can absolutely win the championship this year. With this formula. :starspin:

Run game has issues, particularly 1st down runs with Elliott IMO. There were at least two first down runs, where Elliott got tackled for only a one yard or so gain putting the O in a 2nd and long situation, where there were yards to be made by Elliott just wasn't quick enough.

Elliott just lacks any explosiveness and he's hurting the O IMO if he's leaving yards out there, especially on first and 2nd downs.

You like to rip Dak but Elliott is also an issue IMO.

Zeke looks decent enough to run the ball. The problem is the offensive line and lack of run creativity at times. Zeke isn't going to make the first guy miss and get past 2 other guys at this point in his career. The offensive line needs to get better.

Pollard is the bell cow and Elliott is the short yardage back. Should be that way rest of the season and playoffs.

Dood you and I were the only 2 praising the punter in the Game Day Thread. lol Guy is a baller!!
 
we are now 9-0 when we run for 100+.
with this defense...this is the path forward to "fixing" the offense.
run the ball.
score pts in the red zone...tds,fgs,just score.
and let this defense win it.
 
I feel like for years we neglected the punter position. Having a guy that can dip field position is awesome. Especially when you have a good defense

Maybe but with Zeke, your run game is limited to between the tackle stuff. There was one sequence where I think Elliott got one yard on first down up the gut. We got the first down two plays later and then on the next first down, Pollard ran outside for like 8 yards. You can't do that with Zeke.

Our run game is limited with how he's playing now.

Not if Pollard is the bell cow and Zeke is the situational short yardage back.
