We all know the success KC had with Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes. How different is Saunders running scheme compared to Gibbs'? Will we see more stretch plays? Counters? Screens? Larry Johnson put up some nice numbers yardage wise and TD's. I can see Portis having another record breaking season for us.

I think the biggest benefitor of all of this is Portis and obviously the offensive line.

What do you guys think?
Yeah, this move can only make Portis better, but he's already pretty good. What Saunders really should do is see if he can make Taylor Jacobs into something more than eye candy.

HAHA. True.

I think Jacobs needs to go hang out with Barry Bonds and do a couple of cycles in the offseason.

I'm totally done with Jacobs. In my eyes, he's officially hit "bust" status.
