As new players come in, the dynamics change. We may very well run more often as the line is settled into a second year in the ZBS. (Wait -- 3 of them are sophmores!! Should we play the rookies ahead of them??)Other teams may no longer see Jennings as a rookie from a small school and roll more of the coverage to him. That, of course, opens it up more for Driver or the TE.Driver, God forbid, may get hurt and Jennings have to move over and run the routes over the middle and take away some of his deep routes.I think that Greg did very well as a rookie -- even though he only had that one little dump pass that Brett set up for him in the 1st Bear game. He showed a lot by being on the field while hurt for most of the season. The players that I would look to have a problem with the sophmore jinx are Colston for NO (Everyone knows about him now and Horn is gone -- plus teams in the NFC South go from last to first every year so this should be Tampa Bay's year) and Vince Young (who has to deal with the Madden Jinx as well)</blockquote>
