Mailbag: Impact Of Dez's Return On The Offense? Using A Featured Back?

JAMES JORDAN
CONVERSE, TX
If Dez returns this week to play against Seattle, how will that help both the pass and the run game?

Bryan: Well usually with Bryant on the field an opponent will try and cover him with three guys – corner, safety and linebacker underneath to stop the slants. So with those defenders out of the mix that only leaves eight other guys to handle the scheme. It’s a big help.

David: In my opinion, one of the biggest positives from Sunday was that Matt Cassel showed he can get the ball downfield and make the opposing secondary pay.
