Football ownership is a totally different beast, and it is arguable that Peter Angelos would be as good a football owner as he is a terrible baseball owner. That means that players get to go home to their families at night. Stephen Davis is a fluke. Stephen Davis is no fluke. He is not a world-class back, but any capable back running behind that line, set up by the diverse passing attack the Redskins employ, would do well, perhaps very well.
Offensive lines make the back.
If you aren't Barry Sanders, you will simply not gain yards behind a bad line. Finally, the biggest thing standing in their way is the competition. Good argument, until Mr. Clark asserts that the Cowboys are improved. They lost depth, and defense, and ONLY added Galloway. The Cowboys may win some games, but they better win 49-48 because they aren't going to stop anybody, and Troy Aikman has been marginal at best the last couple of years.
