I noticed two things that haven't been mentioned too much:

1) I have always believed a team becomes good when you start to not have just one good running back or one good WR, but you get a bunch of guys that do different things very well. It seems that Kyle has that kind of arsenal now: Helu can run a backdoor screen, you have a bruiser in Morris, Robinson has the speed, Garcon is physical and has some jets, Paulsen is a great blocker but can be snuck into formations, etc. And not to mention having the guy under certain have the athletic ability to roll, fake and the arm to make the throw.... yeesh.

Just making a one game comparison to the Gibbs 2.0. regime shows some positive signs. It use to be stack 8 in the box to take away Portis and then double Moss. You won't be able to do that with the athleticism on the field. It might end up being a pick your poison situation by the end of the season, and wouldn't that be sweet for a such an offensively starved team.

2) Man have there been some good finds in the past three drafts. Not including 1st or 2nd rounders, the skins had Riley, Helu, Gomes, Paul, Royster, Robinson, and Morris all contributing. It's good to see some of the later draft picks starting to make an effect on the game. Not to mention the good choices of Griffen, Williams and Kerrigan. It's hard not to believe that there won't be a couple surprises from this year's draft from later picks.
