Glad someone said it, because I was going to if not. With the injuries to the O-line Cooley is being kept in more to block, and consequently his numbers will decline.
Unfortunately this is the nature of the beast when your offensive line takes hits with the injury bug.
So if Moss dos not play, you might as well say that 2 weapons are neutralized, Moss due to injury and Cooley beacause now he has not our running routes, he is protecting Campbell.
To win this game the Redskins have to have a very effective running attack that consumes the clock and keeps the Lions offense off the field.
