All this is a lot to digest, I'm sure, for a guy who couldn't pass Brandon Gibson on a depth chart two weeks ago, and who wasn't able to push the poor man's Wes Welker out of his job in St. Louis. But—like Mike Shanahan and running backs 10 years ago—things are different when you're a wide receiver Josh McDaniels is kind of into. It's that, as much as anything Greg Salas showed in college or with the Rams a year ago, that will keep him in the NFL while he tries to Wally Pipp Wes Welker.
