That Guy

patten has much more production than El, so i don't really think he's a #2. If you look at his stats the one thing that REALLY stands out is his punt return stuff.
only a 20% FC rate, averaging 10 and 12 yards a return, lots of 20+ stuff and multiple TD seasons. His Kick return stats arent super great, but good punt returners are harder to find.

I think that El may be the only guy who can effectively run the WR screen the way Moss does. He is a punt return guy who knows how to make people miss. I'm sure, with the success we had running it last yearm it will remain in the play book (especially because Saunders saw it work against his team last year).
This may sound like a simple thing, but if Moss goes down, we need someone with similar attributes to run similar plays. I think that while no one can run the same plays as Moss, we now have the players that allow us to put a guy in for each play. Moss or Patten on go routes, Moss or EL on WR screens. Moss, Patten, Lloyd on posts. Saunders offense is more of a timing offense (not the Gibbs wasn't) so we really need to make sure we get our guys to a spot in the correct amount of time and then Brunnels accuracy will really give the other teams something to fear.

Other teams will try to counter our WRs by blitzing Brunell like crazy. `We will have to make them pay for this gamble.

the wr screen is a great play against the blitzand we run that play about as good as can be ran.i hope saunders uses it as well as gibbs did. it seemed that gibbs called that play at the perfect times last year, and even though other teams knew it was coming, they just couldn't stop it.
