I hope I am wrong, but when you take a guy that has forced teams to cover the middle it tends to open the outer lane for WR's, inparticular Bowe. 70 catches as a rookie and 86 last year is great. However, #88 has had 78-73-99-96 the last 4 years respectively. That ladies and gentlemen is a big void that we need to figure out, for our team success and for Cassell to not get knocked around too much. I understand TG may be on the downsize of his career but when you take away a player that has been as productive as he has been...defenses can key in on other areas. If Bowe is going to have a breakout year, our RB's have to absolutely be awesome (meaning our OL needs to be absolutely awesome). Very possible, but a big task indeed
