He has to be accounted for on the field all the time. His presence will force the safeties to stay back in coverage more. He cannot be covered one-on-one. So double cover Owens and Glenn will burn you.

I think his presence will force Washington to keep 2 safeties off the LOS, this will keep 7 defenders "in the box", and will put a LB in coverage on Witten.

I think Witten will have a good game tonight because of this.

Glenn will burn you?...took a flea flicker for her to beat us last year. But she might have a decent game tonight.
