That's a great point, and it's also worth noting that Saunders certainly didn't have the wealth of receiving talent in KC that he will have at his disposal in DC. Gonzalez was really Saunders's only worthwhile target that defenses were forced to account for on any given play. That being the case, Saunders learned to rely quite heavily on his runningbacks to catch passes out of the backfield-- when they weren't rushing for 200 yards a game.

In DC, not only will Saunders have a great runningback in Portis to keep defenses honest against the run, but he will also have a trio of receivers-- in addition to Cooley-- whose potential for production could rival that of "The Posse", a trio that managed to post 1,000 yards individually in a single season. I'm not saying that feat will be duplicated by the group Gibbs and company have assembled for the 2006 season, but Saunders and Gibbs are fellow graduates of that fabled Coryell School of Aeronautics, so the present synergy of talent, knowledge and circumstance does make for some intriguing possibilities.
