(Vent thread) I'm sorry,but the notion,that the Redskins have "no" receivers is just stupid!

How the hell can you rank WR's who have had a piss poor QB's? Last time I checked it took both to have a passing attack,

Absolutely,plus when your former QB would overthrow fades and seems by 10 yards also makes them look bad...

But Matt,that's the problem with all this speculation.

Everyone seems to take out the TE's on this debate,when it shouldn't be.

Unlless Shanahan is running a 4 or 5 Wide Spread offense in every base formation,than the world might be correct. We probably aren't going to scare anyone.

But how often will this happen?

That all changes as soon as you put the 2 TE formation on the field? (or even a package with Just cooley)
How many LB's can cover Cooley and Davis at the same time?
Cause they will force D-coord to use Safeties with their talent...
Which will leave Galloway Moss or even Armstrong in 1-on-1 coverage...

We might not have the Best receiving core in the world,but I bet anyone we can create more mismatches than many NFL teams buy having 2 GREAT TE's on the field at the same time...

I think it's fair to evaluate the WRs and the TEs on their own. Yes when you add them together you get a much more formidable group, but the fact is our WRs do kinda stink, at least on paper right now.

Anyone interested in Randy Moss?

If we can just hit some deep balls once or twice a game, of which McNabb is very good at and Moss is very good at, it should open up a lot for this team. Brunell was able to do that with Moss several times in 2005 and that took us to the playoffs. I don't think Moss has lost anything from that and Galloway can do that as well off playaction.

Last year Galloway had Tom Brady. And Welker was hurt. Still Galloway could not get on the field and produce. 'Nuff said.

We have a bit bi-polar going with this newb.

Or maybe while he thinks we can get by with what we have at WR, V.Jax. represents a clear upgrade at the position that he wouldn't mind.

I don't necessarily agree with that but everyone's entitled to their own opinion. If we traded Haynesworth to the Titans, who traded some picks to San Diego, who traded V.Jax. to us, I would be very happy. Because you know if we get rid of Haynesworth on his own, we aren't going to get shit for him. Nobody trades good draft picks for malcontent players that think too highly of themselves.

It won't be long now before we begin to find out just what we're going to have at the w/r position. Various arguments have been made as to their abilities [or lack thereof] have fun with the knowledge that any concerns we have will answer themselves very shortly.

Galloway has had 20 receptions for 200 yards and 0 tds in his last 2 seasons combined. And he is not exactly going to get better with age at 38. He is not someone we want on our team much less someone who is going to start.
Our TEs are good but (like Ive said before) two TEs cannot both shine in one offense. It has never been done before, so I do not see why it will happen now. Don't get me wrong, they both can be reasonably productive, but to expect them both to put up big numbers in the same game is a little far fetched.
Moss is OK, but not someone who demands a double team. He might get it, but he doesn't need it. He is not someone that can make up for the lack of talent of our other receivers. Also, for a small speedy guy like him, being 32 this year does not inspire confidence that he will be any better (especially now that he can't take steroids anymore...jk but not really).

On the Cowboys board I look at, there is a thread about ranking WR corps, oddly there is not one about ranking OL. I think it's clear that our WR's are not the tops, but I think they will make it through the season, if we are unable to bring someone in. But, lets not forget where our priority HAD to be this offseason. Everyone living knew we had to upgrade our OL, and we did, to the point where it is most likely a strength and one of the better ones in the division. Let's see if we can have that same EFFECTIVE focus over the next year on WR's.
