    I expect he may be a lot more involved in the offense this week. archer out. moore still out. even though JB played pretty well last week, I think they make sure the vet is up to speed in this one and may be a critical player before it's over. :cool:

    He was critical last game ,just not in the passing game. They split him out wide on several key runs and on several screen plays he blocked very,very, well the best I have seen since Ward.

    I do see your point he had no targets , and will probably get some this week and actually have some plays designed for him. I think his effort blocking and on ST'S will earn him a look or 2 . Coach T tends to reward guys that are willing to do the dirty work.

    I think JB earned himself more playing time but whoever can help us win, I'm fine with.

    I think he represented his self very well also .And as a whole our WR unit truly does look like a true strength of this Team. We may see a lot more 4 and 5 WR sets moving forward...

    I think a great set for us to work from would be the 3 by 1 single RB set. I would love to see Brown,Brown, and Wheaton to 1 side with DHB out wide on the other.This would allow us all kinds of screen options both ways all kinds of swing option both ways great run options both ways. We could flex Bell out to either side .We would have a true Deep threat on the single WR side..

    I have a whole playbook from these sets and they can be very dangerous and hard to defend .

    I also meant a bigger role in the passing game and more field time with his speed to keep those corners and safeties back off of bell, and not allow as much double coverage.

    he also has that verticle speed if they neglect him as a receiver for us. he isn't going to be covered by a safety, or at least shouldn't be at this point of his career with his speed. JB however could be matched up easier with a safety without them expecting a big play from him.

    I'd expect they would have to bring in another corner to put on DHB allowing heath to match up on a safety or LB and bell to be a mismatch running or out of the backfield. running with one less LB because they need that nickel corner for DHB. i'll take my chances with bell or heath against a LB or safety. we win most of those battles.

    he and JB are very good blockers at wr. AB and wheaton don't do too bad either, just not the size. which helps those two (jb/DHB) as almost small H-back type blockers.

    i wouldn't mind some no huddle with DHB, wheaton, AB, heath and bell. that group creates the most mismatches that we should win.:cool:

    :rolleyes: Oh boy.......lol (jk)

    I suspect he'll have a larger role as well. Him and JB did a good job last week and are probably our 2 best blocking receivers. Even if he isn't targeted that much the Ravens will have to respect his speed which will hopefully open up opportunities for others.

    I'm wondering if Bryant will see any PT this week. :hmmm:

    aww, c'mon canton, I had to go there. LOL:lolol:.

    I seriously doubt Bryant will play in this one. short week. nursing a shoulder injury which is a pretty important part of his game. practice yes, but nobody teeing off on him. besides that, you have two capable big targets available. heck in the RZ we could go big with heath, spaeth, DHB, bell and JB. :cool:
