The problem with Moss(outside of health and inconsistency) is he's not a true red zone threat. His advantage is his speed which works to his advantage between the 20's, but speed is basically a nonfactor from 20 yards in. Height, strength, and hops are the best attributes to have in a red zone target and there really aren't any Redskin receivers that possess all of those assets.
Cooley has size and strength, and he is the best receiving threat in the red zone, but the problem is every team in the league knows that. Every time Campbell went to Cooley in the endzone yesterday, he was triple covered. I'm actually surprised that Cooley was able to have such good receiving numbers, since there were Bills drapped all over him, all day long.
But Washington still needs a true possession receiver. A big receiver with good hands that can bail Campbell out when his passes are a foot or two off the mark. Something which Santana Moss seems unable to do. I don't know how or where they'll find this guy, but they need to do it ASAP.
