Smallish WRs out to show size doesn't matter

Sellers and Cooley combined for 14 TD catches last year, I'd say that's pretty good big guy production.


We can also add Christian Fauria to the mix, good red zone target

If you want to know well our redzone offense was last year just try to think back to the 18 games they played. Whenever they were in the redzone did you feel they were adequate enough to score? My feeling is that they had the weapons to get in. I remember feeling confident that we would score on any given redzone opportunity. As someone already pointed out Cooley and Sellers did a great job getting in the endzone.
Another stat related question would be knowing how many 20+ yard TD plays did we have? I definitely can think of two such TD!!!

Didn't we have something like 12 TDs in our last 12 red zone attempts last year?

Our problem was more "getting started" than "finishing". It seemed like the Skins had trouble getting past the 50 yrd line at times, but once they got on the otherside, they always seemed to get something out of the drive and like many have mentioned, more often than not it was a TD, not a FG.

jump balls scare me anyway. were not playing 500 here in the redzone. if the receivers/tight ends can generate separation that would be a bonus.

I am trying to think of the chiefs red zone offense and trying to mix it with ours. What i come up with is a run heavy red zone team with a little play action to the tight ends and fullbacks.

save the fast receivers for what they are really good at, using their speed in the open field to generate separation. Those type of plays form well before the red zone.

yeah seriously. were not oging to have ANY problems in the red zone this year. its going to be all about that roll out play to sellers or cooley.

How would you rate Santanna Moss' quickness versus Randle El? or Brandon Lloyd? What I'm asking is Moss owned the WR screen last year: could Lloyd or Randle El also be used with similiar effect? I think our small, quick WR's are going to cause so many sleepless nights for our opponents defensive coordinators. This thread actually has me getting pretty excited thinking about the scoring possibilites!

:point:

except that that article was written more than 2 weeks before your post. and others had been saying that here for two years.

Details, details. It's always details with you isn't it?

Actually, I've been saying the same thing since '99 when I first got a computer with access to the internet and I joined at the original Warpath Yahoo! group.

So there.

bsb,was i the only one to get the gun analogy?

all three (and cooley) are good open field runners that can make people miss. El has good short speed, his long speed isn't as great as guys like moss though. Lloyd is a bit slower, but a much better jumper.
