Steve Breaston’s numbers may have taken a noticeable dip from the previous year, but he still had a pretty darn good season when you put it all into perspective. First of all, he’s not even a starter, so to amass 55 catches for 712 yards and 3 TDs as a #3 guy is actually quite astounding. Second, he got less playing time because Anquan Boldin only missed one full game in 2009 as compared to four in 2008. Third, the Cardinals ran more and passed less than the previous year due to the strong play of both Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower, so the opportunities weren’t always there for him to capitalize on. Overall, we’d have to say that 2009 was another successful year for the three-year pro.
