I read somewhere the trade deadline is sept 22nd for VJ? Guess we'll see what happens tonight.. In their second game against a defense that gave up over 400 yards of passing last week. That's two weeks since McNabb got back from his injury, one more week for the offensive line to gel together (despite a weird rotating system), and one more week for the guys to learn the offense.
So today, IF DT starts actually playing, if F.Davis gets into the mix, if Armstrong becomes a stud, if Galloway - no, he's probably done.. --- if all that happens maybe we're in better shape than we thought. If we don't do well this week, perhaps that's when we make a push for VJ.
Come McNabb - start making our WRs look better than they are.
5.5 hours to go.

So let me see if I got this right.....
We should let Cooley ride the pine and replace him with the talented Davis? All because Cooley gets double teamed? I would argue that Cooley is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing. See across the board most likely someone is going to get double teamed. If Cooley is getting it then someone else should be single covered and or open, ie; Moss, Armstrong, Galloway...
But keep in mind this will happen to anyone. Moss might be double covered this week, should we replace him with R.Williams? Opponents are going to double whoever they think is McNabb's security blanket. If it's Cooley or Davis so be it. If it's Armstrong so be it.
Maybe your refering to a two TE set. We had one game. I didn't expect the HC to throw everything, his whole arsenal at Dallas so other teams can see what we can or can't do and game plan around it. Be patient. Maybe this week Davis gets the majority of the bulk.
No one is talking about benching Cooley. Both Cooley and Davis should be on the field. Cooley and Davis are two of our three best receivers. There is no reason to hide this "arsenal," as it is the only arsenal we have. Both Cooley and Davis should be on the field, either in a 2 TE set or with one of them split wide.

I never said Cooley should ride the pine because he gets double teamed. When I brought up the fact that Cooley gets doubled, I was stressing that our WR's need to make the plays whenever they have the luxury of 1 on 1 coverage, especially in the red-zone. As for Fred Davis, he should be utilized more period. The Patriots are an excellent example of a team who gives both of their talented TE's chances to make plays.

I can't remember the last time we had a thread last this long for a guy who isn't even on the skins roster ... That being said, word is that Jackson will be a Viking Soon, heard it this morning on espn radio.

Thanks but no thanks. We have a QB now, we don't need to cover up our passing game with big name receivers.

We also need Kareem Moore to come back. That TD pass to Andre Johnson probably doesn't happen with Moore.
