Why do so many teams end up with wide open receivers, but we don't?

[tryfuhl]

Some guys make it look like college, literally wide open by 10 yards waiting for the pass, nothing else to do.

It seems that we rarely if EVER see this. Why?

Government conspiracy??? But seriously you'll be suprised what Pure Speed (DeSean Jackson, Randy Moss, Steve Smith) and superior route running (Wes Welker, Larry Fitzgerald) will do for you. Mot to mention broken coverage in some cases.
Outside of Moss we don't have that speedster who can get behind the defense consistently or that route running master that moves the chains.

Moss is a speedster but he's so small he's tough for a QB to spot.

I agree that he probably does look like a match-box to the QB 40yds. down field, but......S.Moss is listed at 5' 10" 205 lbs. [I don't thnk he actually weighs that much] S. Smith [Car] is listed at 5' 9" 185 lbs both with equal speed,but Smith seems to always be open and draws just as much double coverage as Moss, if not more..plus they both wear the same number. It's tough to figure how Smith can be found in coverage while Moss struggles at times.

No, according to the OP our WRs are meeting up with DBs everyweekend.

I believe it's a known fact that Stan Hixon has so totally brainwashed every Skins receiver for the last decade (yes even before and after he was our coach) into believing that the goal of a receiver is to cover the CB. Thus our WR's think they are excelling by the lack of separation they get. Further he often (as I understand it) would have Carlos come to the WR meetings to teach the proper techniques for catching a ball with your hands.

I get the feeling you can merge this with the drunk thread....

[tryfuhl]

GM is on key

it's a valid question but prob could've landed in another thread and POSSIBLY in the right section...

Because Campbell still sucks. He sucks so bad our receivers still can't get open even with him gone
