Those aren't big plays but they are the ones that keep the drive alive. And they're plays the Redskins used successfully all year, amazingly. I would have expected Parcells to handle Cooley well, but he tried to man Demarcus Ware up in coverage. Inexplicable. Sometimes I wonder if these coaches really watch films at all.

Something has to give, though. The #2 and #3 WR's are getting single covered whenever Moss and Cooley are not so they have to make plays in the passing game. I know there has been alot of criticism of Jacobs, etc and rightfully so, but the coaches and the quarterbacks also need to adjust and start making an effort to look for those guys. If they are not up to the challenge then we're basically out of luck against this level of competition anyways.

you are exactly right,Cooley has 4 catches for 20 yrds over the last 2 games,and that will def not cut it when your only other threat is moss,since we started this winning streak the stats on our other wr's who caught a pass is this: thrash-1 rec,41 yrds jacobs-2 rec,6 yrds,thats in 6 games people,that is so unbelievably pathetic you wonder how we won 6 games in a row,if seattle shuts down cooley,gibbs has to figure out a way to get the other wr's the ball
