I don't know if this has been mentioned or not in another thread, but I am shocked at how well Donald Lee and Bubba Franks have played. Bubba's missed a couple tough ones that maybe he should've had, but these guys are really lighting it up. Especially Lee. He is getting open a ton, and he seems to have figured out the problem he had with the droppies the past few years. They are both a big part of the reason we are 4-0, I hope they keep playing well.

You said it. I'd say our TE play has been a key to our offense so far. If you combine their stats, then Franks and Lee are second in the league in receptions and TD's.

The emergence of the TEs has negated the need to run quite a bit. They have been pretty effective in clock management utilizing all these west coast short passing routes and the flats to the RBs.
