Portis and the Gibbs/Bugel system will really make things easier on the WRs this year. Spurrier's offense was completely figured out by game 4 of last year, and he NEVER recovered. This year teams will have to crowd the box because of Portis, and the play action will be very effective. Also, the threat of the H-back keeps the underneath coverage off the WRs in shorter possession routes. One of these guys will take the Art Monk role. I bet it will be Thrash, because he runs good routes and really works hard. But maybe McCants or Gardner will step it up. Coles and Jacobs could have serious numbers playing off the Portis play action.

So I think the WRs will do well, with Coles leading them in yardage. Sometimes the system is more important than pure talent and pre-season hype.
