Our ST were horrendous earlier in the year.. just freakin awful.. thank goodness we got Brandon Powell and Skow and the rest of the guys pulled their head's out..
I don't recall who mentioned it in an earlier thread, but it was remarked upon that Powell gave the offense a lot of "hidden" yards by his aggressive play on PR's. No, he didn't break any long runs. But he didn't allow any 40-yard punts to bounce and skip and turn into 55-yard punts either. Very aggressive running up (sometimes into traffic) and securing the ball. Showed great concentration and sure-handedness.
With those attributes, it's a wonder how McVay didn't get him on offense throughout the back half of the season. Not talking about making him a full-time WR, but I could def see him being successful on jet-sweeps. Even faking it to him might give a defense a slight pause - enough to buy our O-line a little more time to hold their blocks.
