of having to convert 3rd and longs, then he'll be much better. I don't think anyone wants to RELY on Lock achieving that 60% completion percentage that is his goal. He's just not that consistent. But if MU can dictate the running game so Defenses are putting 7 and 8 in the box, then there's enough WR talent to find 1on1 matchups with no safety help.

If we're relying on Lock passing to put together drives and maintain field position, it's going to be a long season.

MU's formula for winning.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:32:27
     The single biggest thing we need to achieve is getting - alwaysright MU - 8/29 17:13:02
     a defense good enough to force more punts than MU takes(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:42:51
     Prediction - JimD MU - 8/29 12:57:41
          Tennessee averaged 35.9. A&M averaged 31.5. State 29.3. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:13:30
               We'll avg 35+ vs weak teams. But not overall - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:34:08
     the defense is going to have to make huge strides - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 12:57:15
          with just a couple breaks MUwould have won 6 in 2016 - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 14:46:33
               on the other hand we weren't that far off from going 2-10 - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 15:45:29
                    i bet your glass is half empty isn't it?(nm) - tigerinhogtown STL - 8/29 16:03:06
          So talent was the issue last year? I mean, we had an NFL - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:04:27
               talent is worse now so coaching had better get better. (nm) - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 14:27:36
                    How are you measuring talent? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:22:54
                         depth is weak as it's been in a while. (nm) - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 15:44:24
                              we don't really know that - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 15:56:11
                                   go ahead and hope for a miracle - AndyTiger MU - 8/29 16:00:08
                                        Looked pretty good last season - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 16:03:23
     I believe the key is the 1st quarter. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 12:46:27
          Yep, which means we have to have a running game... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:51:55
               Right. All about the o-line push to establish the run game. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:04:44
     How do you know the defense will be awful? - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:41:34
          Those are your words not mine.... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:49:11
               A defense that gives up over 30 ppg isn't average - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:53:04
                    MU gave up 35 a game in SEC play in 2016. - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 13:07:32
          Just assume it'll suck because it sucked last year - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:47:06
               Are our opponents not getting better? I hope i'm wrong - coolbean MU - 8/29 13:29:52
                    Again, we have no way of knowing. - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:34:46
               Yea last year everyone assumed the defense would be great - wu-tangtiger MU - 8/29 12:51:34
                    Correct and then panic sets in and people deduce that - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:57:08
                         That's true - you put it plainly. We have to hope that - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 13:10:56
                              We could be a stellar defense. It's largely unknown - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 13:11:28
                                   True.(nm) - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 8/29 14:15:23
     Like I said below, football generally always comes down to - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:34:30
          If Lock is hitting big plays on 2nd and short instead .... - GapDaddy MU - 8/29 12:38:25
               Well you have to have balance of course, but I am relying - Diamond Dave MU - 8/29 12:39:31
