I expect to see our run game have a big impact this season between Helu, Royster, and Griffin. Even if he doesn't run that much defenses have to respect the threat of the run, especially with him being the dual weapon that he is. And I have confidence that if teams force him to beat them with the pass, then he can step up and do that too. I don't expect our coaches to throw the whole playbook at him early, but I do expect them to teach him at his own pace.

Whether that's fast or slow remains to be seen, but he seems like a smart kid from all impressions I've gotten so far. I think the speed of the NFL game might suprise him at some point, but he's got speed of his own so I don't think we'll see the Beck deer-in-headlights look we saw last season. Right now I don't think he'll have a Cam Newton type season, but I do expect an above-average rookie season from him. With any luck hopefully we'll be right around .500 at the end of the season, and he could possibly suprise with a 10 win season if his learning curve is minimal and he comes out slinging.
