Matt Forte seemed to do just fine with the same O line. Don't confuse poo pass blocking with being the same on run blocking.

Forte only ran well out of two back sets (which skewed his overall numbers). When forced to deal with strictly the O Line and the TE's he was slightly worse than mediocre. Let's also take into account he is a much better back that Taylor was, even compared to when Chester was in his prime.

As far as Taylor, in 2009 in Minny he averaged 3.6 yards per carry. This last year? 2.4.

Barf.

Cardinals are hurting for a RB.

I would say Taylor is a better option than Tiki Barber or Clinton Portis at this point.

it wouldn't fix the fact that their Oline is not very good either. Warner's quick release just made that unit look better than it really was

23 seconds in. :D

This is a Mike Martz offense, man... "two back sets" are just about the rarest verbiage in that scheme.
