I believe he'll implement more fullback lead running sets - I don't believe it will be the only running set we implement. We'll more than likely continue to use the same Joe Gibbs syle of running attacks - counter Trey plays, and also the Denver plays we implemented for Portis this past season. It will be a good mixture of stuff. You'll probably still see Cooley as an H-Back, though, he might be slowly converted to a pure tight end role.
