Well there is never a better time to shine than stepping in for an injuried player. Pauleson was top notch last Sunday, I have a hard time believing Paul could have made the same plays. Who knows maybe he steps his game up, but he is a beast on special teams.

Yeah I think Paul's expected increase role on offense is one reason why they signed KW. To make up for Paul on special teams

so we want to 'make up for' one of our best special teams players to put him on offense where he hasnt done well? cool. sounds smart.

I hope you all know that Niles is arguably our best blocker on the team that isn't on the OL. I watched parts of the Giants game last night and he was blowing back LBs, Safeties and did fairly well against the DL (well except Pierre Paul, but no one can really block that guy one on one). His catching will improve the more he gets thrown to.

I think he is a great blocker, but that is ONE block you have to make everytime. That was a huge mistake, dont blow it off saying no one makes that, thats crap.

Arguably our best blocker not on the OL and not named Royster or Morgan

Good post Lotus. It just doesn't make sense to put all the blame on Kyle for when things weren't going well with Rex and Beck at the helm, and now with RG3 it seems there are folks that want to give all the credit to RG3 and none to Kyle.

And given the high level of production the offense has put out this year, the fact that some are still bitching about Kyle just rings of hater-ade to me. Give it up already. If we had a middle of the pack D we'd probably have 2-3 more wins. The offense clearly isn't our problem.

I wouldn't worry about what the depth chart says. What we saw in terms of playing time and the roles Paul and Paulsen played last Sunday is likely what we'll see going forward.

paulsen looked very sharp last week. paul hasn't looked like an nfl-caliber te at any point.

I have heard Paulsen is a great blocker and I have never saw him drop a pass. He always catches the ball and has great size. I think with Paulsen in the game we won't see a drop off. I like him being in the game.

Cooley FTW

Its easy to scapegoat.
