Good article, especially since we seem have this argument all the time over the Skins' need for a big WR.

Im a little worried about our red zone touchdown production as far as size, but that's about it. Lloyd has the hops to get a lot of balls over DBs.
Hopefully Portis will turn into Priest Holmes -- Hop the pile!

sellers and cooley in the redzone. Lloyd can jump like bullet out of a gun anyways.
Sellers and Cooley combined for 14 TD catches last year, I'd say that's pretty good big guy production.

First off, Cooley, Sellers, and Fauria are our red zone threats. Second, the Smurfs did just fine.
Also, do we really need a big wideout when Moss and Randle El are scoring on 50 yard bombs? :biggthump

I thought we ranked pretty high last year in red zone scoring. I do not know where to find the stat so if anyone can find please post it would be interesting to see.

here, in the red zone... sean taylor on one side, lloyd on the other (40+ int verts), cooley as the TE (great at finding holes in coverage)... sellers in the backfield as a blocker or power back, and portis for your speed back (that can break tackles, jump over a pile, and catch a quick pass).

our red zone scoring wasn't great in gibbs first year, but if was near the top of the league this last year. We didn't have to kick many field goals.
