The problem I have is if it's that's simple you would think people
would be drafting that way and in a way that's what St Louis did when
they had I. Bruce, T. Holt, M. Faulk, and A Hakim. I thought the Rams
were unstoppable. But good teams with good defenses found a way to
slow them down. I love the roster (I hate myself for saying that
because I feel like I've soldout just to have T.O. just to win a
championship) but I'm curious to see how the blockers holdup.
