That was a pretty cool article about Colston's fantasy production and consistency posted on the main page (http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/sp...30EBF09A2CAD42D8862572210013490A?OpenDocument)
But did you notice this part-
I understand that the prevailing logic in scouting is that an unknown player might light it up for a while and then teams begin to account for him, double cover him, and then production falls off.
BUT, in this case- How can a defense double cover Marques Colston when perennial pro-bowler Joe Horn is on the other side, along with an emerging Devery Henderson and Reggie Bush, who might not have the numbers yet- but if he catches a ball in space, he's gone- all lining up as part of the Saints' passing game? I don't see where the help on Colston can come from. Am I wrong here?
I love this offense!

The real test will come when Colston starts to consistently see double coverage, which will happen now that he's established himself as one the NFL's top young playmakers.
