I don't know if I'd go THAT far, but he sure isn't hurting the process.

Why wouldn't it.

1. He's a pretty darn good blocker when he doesn't get the ball.
2. He's actually a receiving threat. With LJ in, if he didn't get the hand off, defenses could almost discount him as a threat back there.

It just opens our offense up exponentialy having Charles back there as opposed to LJ. It brings a dimension we were missing with LJ back there. I think Holmes was a HUGE part of our offense being so great in 03. And I don't mean his running ability. I'm talking about his blocking and pass catching ability.
