Injury recovery is key. For a change we might be ok on the D line with KJ back. But safety is an issue. Without Carter we've been late helping in zone coverage and confused multiple times. Against this team that will cost us - their QB is deadly.

On offense, losing Taj will hurt us. Notwithstanding the controversy, he was our best receiver (#1 in catches in only 3 games), and brought value on deep shots and third downs (his speed earned him space). Do we have younger guys with talent? Yes, but they're green ... busting routes, getting walled and (apart from Jackson) lacking a confident connection to GS. Second, where in the blazes is Benson? Without him our TE passing game has been non-existent .. stripping us of an important offensive dimension. He has the size (6'4 - 240), speed and ability to gash WF. We need him back. I've also heard that Davis was limping, and Tisdale may be out. OL is obviously critical for the offense, so I'm hoping Davis' injury isn't serious and Vet can step it up.

One last item - the kicking game. The point is not to dump on a 3d-stringer (or me for raising the subject), but to make sure we make PAT's and protect field position. Williams is a critical factor here - we need all 3 phases functioning to have a puncher's chance against a top 20 team.
