With extra muscle, Edwards hopes he will be able to absorb hits by defenders
New offensive coordinator Turk Schonert promises to use his running backs in the passing game more often. .
With blockers in front of them, Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson are capable of making big plays on screens.
on our lb'ers
None of the starters are great in man-to-man coverage, but they do a nice job playing their assigned zones and have good ball skills.

Re: New Trent Edwards article...
Trent is a complete QB that can make all the passes - and we definitely need to start utilizing the screen passing game more since Lynch is such a dynamic threat in the backfield.
In fact I believe part of the reason that Lynch was rated so high by so many scouts is his pass catching ability - sadly the idiot calling the offensive plays last year didn't realize this.

Dude, let's wait til at least the pre-season. Last pre-season is when I thought we were in trouble with JP. If trent starts chuching rocks all over the place I'll be the first to join your cynisism.

The thing that baffles me is that they talked up Lynch's pass receiving skills all last preseason and then they never used him in the passing offense. He and Jackson are tailor-made for the same kind of plays that Thurman used to run in the K-Gun. Let's hope they finally figure that out and start to call some of those plays this season--IMHO that could really help to ignite this offense.Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

I seriously think he was a complete idiot. I don't think there is or was a good enough excuse to not involve either RB more in the passing game. They can both catch the ball.

Re: New Trent Edwards article...
The 10 pounds of muscle were very necessary... TE was far too thin last year. He'll be able to take the blows and hopefully put a little more on his passes because of this. Great to hear.
They also had a piece at the bottom on our LBs.... I think these guys are the epitmoe (sp) of our team mantra this year... young and talented, no one sees them coming.
