Are the recievers getting open

If our recievers got in a fight with my 15 pound dog today those high paid punks would lose. What an awful joke they were today? Bad bad badbad bad and bad.

It's going to take a while. Campbell looks promising, but we knew when the team drafted him that he was going to be a fairly raw project. No one thought he was going to walk in and start lighting it up right away. Six starts isn't nearly enough time to start saying there's a problem with with the recievers. I mean, it's fairly obvious that Bryant is a bust (IMO), but beyond that Campbell needs time to generate some chemestry with Cooley, Moss, etc.

I meant Lloyd, sorry, fingers got ahead of me.

Its not that our recievers are not getting open, Campbell is making a lot of bad passes were he tries to throw of his back foot, rushing the throw when he has tons of time, or he commits himself to one reciever and doesent look at others that could be open. All Rookie mistakes that time will mend

We've got the possession receiver that we need. He wears #47.

As for the small receivers not being big targets, Santana Moss plays the deep ball better than many many (most?) larger receivers.

I don't think a thing needs to be changed with the receivers. Just let them gel with 17. Continuity is key.

Although Cooley is a very good receiving "tight end" he is NOT a receiver nor do he possess receiver skills. He is coming off blocks which limits his abilities and does not have receiver speed.

I am a huge Moss fan but in football it is not all about the "deep pass" and we need an intermediate receiver to compliment Moss' deep ball threat or defenses are going to concentrate only on him which is going to take away from some of the big plays that he can possibly make.

Options is the key and at the receiver position we do not have many at this point.

The obvious ansewer is that the underneath receivers were open, but the Rams took away the long pass. We burned them with the underneath stuff and scored 31 points. We should win games when we score 31 points. Cooley was opened all day, and Moss was open on the comebacks. If the Rams understand how to defend anything it should be the long ball with the guys they see in practice every day.

Too many inaccurate throws today on attempts under 10 yards. And it's not that he's not taking what hes given. The completion to Duckett was a work of art, how he came off play action (eyes downfield) to find him wide open in the flat. But for every time he did that, there were 3 missed throws of similar distance.

Right now if you take away our deep passing game, the entire passing game becomes inconsistent. Yeah we had 4 good drives today (24 pts, not going to credit the offense for scoring off that blocked punt), but we have 4+ good drives every game. The difference is that today, we finished those and put it in the endzone. Instead of 1 TD and 3 FGs (16 pts), we got 1 FG and 3 TDs (24 pts). That's encouraging.

In order for us to become a good offensive team we are going to have to get the ball in our playmakers hands. We have great WR's. Let's not overthink this. JC is young and is learning but is having a hard time getting the ball out to the WR's consistently. We have turned the corner in regards to running the ball now we've got to improve in the explosive play of our WR's.

IMO, it's not that their not open.

Sorry, but I disagree. We have enough talent at wide receiver. I think we covered that pretty well last year in free agency.

LOL...I think that you need to see the numbers that our receivers have put up this year

Just because we paid lots of money for receivers does not mean it was a wise investment. Our receivers are the jokes of the league but as I said in another thread, there is nothing wrong with disagreeing.
