Its going to be more important for our TE's to pick up more of the slack than it will be for whomever fills Crabtree's spot at WR. I think our two TE set is going to be very hard for defenses to defend because you know our run game will keep them honest.
I guess being double and triple teamed every play counts for nothing?

we will still be a power running offense, but we will need to spread the ball around to multiple receivers to off set the loss of our #1 WR ... Gore , Boldin and Davis will without a doubt be our 3 main options ...but we need Jenkins and Patton and McDonald to contribute early , and if Williams and Manningham come back healthy , we will have an effective passing attack to go along with our power rushing attack

The way I look at it, VD is our #1 receiver. He'll be double teamed in every game and sometimes triple teamed.
That means Boldin will replace Crabs [better IMO] - so we're kind of like last season and need a difference maker.
AND we'll need at least one other receiver to be a real threat to take the heat off VD - not just a guy who can make a catch or 2 but a threat to take it all the way.
I don't know who that is yet.
