Thoughts:

1. In a spread, pass-first offense, a receiver's ability to run in traffic (like Golden Tate) is pretty important. If we're going to use hitches, bubble screens and slants as extended running plays, it will be important to have guys who can take a hit, fall forward, etc. There's going to be five or six DBs out there, so it's going to be infrequent that it's a true one on one matchup on the outside.

2. I think this means Wood stays at TB. I confess I'm not clear what type of TB Kelly prefers, other than I'm confident he requires good pass blocking skills. I wonder if he likes Wood more, feels Riddick needs to start this year, even at WR, or he thinks Riddick is more versatile.

3. Kelly has been hinting at this one for a while. I'm more surprised by the rumor of Cleland to DE. I wonder if there are any other major or surprising moves in store. Charlie de- emphasized positional versatility so much I don't think of many of our guys in that way.
