I just watched Portis' first run as a Redskin in the film room (great addition BTW). Anyone else notice how Thrash took out 2 guys with a block (one on the block and another because of the block obstructing a path to Portis) and Gardner took out another? That shows me how important WR blocking is to the run game. Bugel has said how important wideouts are to the running game and often complimented Coles and Gardner for their outstanding ability to stuff corners. Which brings me to the (loaded) question - how will the new wideouts affect our running game?

PS - I'm aware that the additions of Rabach and Jansen will improve the O-line's run-blocking.
