I'm not quite so worried about the receivers we have beyond Coles

McCants: True, he's not a number one receiver but he's improved each year he's been in the league and there's no need to think that won't continue

Jacobs: The big question mark. True, he hasn't accomplished anything yet but let's not jump to any conclusions on him yet. He showed flashes

Gardner: I think he'll have a big year. It's remarkable how "motivated" a player can get when there's a new contract looming around the corner

Thrash: veteran presence/calming influence

I'd put our receivers up with any others in the division. And I think two things will really benefit the passing game. First of all, with Portis in the backfield opponents at the very least have to respect the run and respect of the running game almost always benefits the passing game. Also, the NFL intends to crackdown on bumping and grabbing of receivers beyond the 5-yard bump zone so yeah I'm not all that worried about the receivers.
