Cooley is a godsend, but we can't be one-dimensional in the redzone. Gibbs has done particulary well with possession type receivers in the past, and not just for the redzone. it's the only thing in this offense that's conspicously missing.

the thing is, when we had DMac, he was the only threat and he was okay, not great... last year we had cooley and gardner, and gardner wasn't getting it done, even though he had almost as many TDs.
I think height is nice, but you can either play or you can't, and our tall guys haven't been able to play, so lets see how the short guys do before spending another 40 posts on this.
They'll prove it to us, one way or the other... there's not much we can do about it now.
