   I dont think any of us had any doubts about ABs skill set, its good everybody sees it. He continues to be what we expect him to be, and thats a great wide receiver and good football player. For us thats a tremendous asset and takes a huge stress off the offensive linemen and the running backs. Theres no way you can pinpoint one facet of our offense to try to shut us down. Hes a huge help. Were glad to have him.
