How will Jahvid Best Fare in 2010?

By rames on Aug 9 2010, 6:30p 26

I know no one can know this as of now, but I'm having a hard time deciding what Best's rookie season will look like. All the potential is there, but if the line doesn't open it up, can he really consistently make things happen for himself? He can just as easily loose yardage as be gone, and so I'm not sure how often he'll get the ball handed off to him on 2and8 or 3and2... I think K Smith might be a dark horse here as well (taking carries away) and we might use Best mostly in creative ways (draws, counters, screens, in the slot...).

Thoughts our welcomed and I'd also love to hear breakdowns of what kind of formations and pass blocking we might use to get Best loose.
