ESPN reports that the 'Skins will use a 'west coast' offense this year. Jason Campbell is so far adjusting well.
The Mustard: ESPN pretty much nailed it - the run-first philosophy is no more in Washington. Look for more pass attempts from Campbell, who ran a similar offense his senior year when he blossomed into a first round draft pick. Do not necessarily downgrade Portis, who can catch the ball and will be a valuable option in a 'west coast' scheme.
My latest footballguys.com newsletter came out and I think the following have fantasy implications:
Niners - Mike Martz thinks he can run the greatest show on turf in San Fran. Oh, boy! (sarcasm). I don't think he has the tools. First, he doesn't know who his QB is, the article has the coaches saying, 'Well, Frank Gore isn't quite Marshall Faulk' and they think Isaac Bruce will be their #1 WR with Bryant Johnson at #2. I see FAIL written all over this. On the other hand, Martz got 4000 yards passing out of Kitna and 1000 yard receiving from Roy Williams.
The Mustard: Frank Gore will likely succeed. Whoever is QB will most likely end up with more than 3500 yards passing. Isaac Bruce will do well to complete 11 games.
Tennessee - They're already talking about moving rookie Chris Johnson all over the field from his natural role as running back to slot and wide receiver.
The Mustard: I betcha this guy starts making all the lists of 'sleeper' running backs. I think he's worth something, but the question is still how much verses the hype.
Dallas - RB coach compares Felix Jones to Charlie Garner. Footballguys point out Garner was good for about 12 carries and 5 catches per game. Julius Jones got about 10 and 1.5 per game last year.
The Mustard: They drafted him in the first round so they obviously intend to use him more than Julius Jones, who they deemed expendable. I think Felix Jones and Marion Barber will get about a 50-50 split in RB production, with maybe Barber getting more goal line work.
