Re: Our WRs in 2009... My Thoughts

If we are going to look at tweaking our WR group, then I really don't think you need to get a TJ Housh. I think our rooks have talent, and have the potential to be very good next season. They got their kinks out of the way this year, and they will have a full training camp to get them up to speed, which in turn will help them get in sync with Campbell. That along with Moss, ARE, and Cooley, I just don't see the need to bring or draft anymore wideouts, save maybe for a replacement for Thrash.

Earlier I criticized the coaching of wideouts, b/c I noticed throughout the latter part of the season, that in those rare moments when Campbell had time to throw, the WRs were not open beyond the 1st down marker. I think this even happened earlier in the season when they were doing well. So maybe a new position coach can help develop the rookies, and help our wideouts get open.
I wish they did get their kinks out this year. Remember all the drops DeShaun Jackson had against the Skins? We can expect games like that from Thomas and Kelly next year, while DeShaun Jackson will be much improved. Next season will essentially be a learning year for our guys, since Zorn decided to red shirt them this year. Even so, either of them will be a better option than Randle-El.
