Quote:I think it's a combination of opportunity and stability.  That Offensive Weapon nonsense last year was a rookie management blunder.  He didn't know if he was a receiver or a RB, the game just overwhelmed him and Bradley (who was probably a little overwhelmed himself) never reacted.  Now that he can focus exclusively on running back, he should continue to improve.  I think he's going to be very good. 

 

I think you guys are not paying attention.   Last year, Denard was 20 pounds lighter and he had nerve damage in his hand which kept him from catching or gripping the ball tightly.   So, the difference between last year and this year is not only mental- understanding the game, etc, but also PHYSICAL.   His hand healing up and him gaining 20 pounds.
