we're 2 dimensional right now (one more big dimension than last year at least). 8 close up vs. the Portis and 2-3 up top vs. Moss.
the middle is vulnerable right now and that's why Cooley has been gobbling up yards, but he's big and slow, so you can keep linebackers in to cover him (and tackle him). that makes it harder for Portis.
what we need is a tougher, more physical no.2 WR that can dart into the middle and burn linebackers, but take the ensuing shots from the safeties. i think then we'd be in perfect shape offensively. until then, Thrash is the closest thing.
