What if Mike Bell, who in the second pre-season game juked and jived the Houston Texans for 100 yards on 10 carries, can run like that six or eight times this season? And I'm not talking about having a half-dozen long TD runs, similar to his 46-yard follow-the-blocking-and-cut-brilliantly scamper on Saturday. But really, what if he actually breaks out this year and rushes for at least a 1,000?
Based on what I saw Saturday, why can't he?
Think about it.
Couple that with the expected output from Bush and Pierre, and I get giddier than The Bear Jew anticipating a Nazi bashing. And that's because of all the unmentioned intangibles.
However slightly, the defense has improved. Put that alongside the game's most explosive passing offense with a RB trio that so far promises to improve to at least NFL-middling-quality, and every opposing team's offense will find itself off the field for at least a few more minutes each game, giving QB Drew Brees and Co. plenty of cushion as they pass and catch for about 30 TDs.
Hey, I'm part of that Co. too. And though I didn't catch one of Drew's 34 last season, I'm getting at least a baker's half dozen this year. Who Dat!
But back to you Bell: Here's to you.
As for the rest of you NFC South mofos (Gonzalez, Winslow): Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
