Our WRs in 2009... My Thoughts

[Hail to the Redskins]

The top WRs in the league will likely be watching the Super Bowl from home this year (just like the top cornerbacks). WRs, like most skill positions other than the QB, don't win championships. Good coaching, good line play and great defense is what it takes.

So Randy Moss, Wes Welker (Moss makes defenses play softer allowing Welker to run our type routes underneath), & Burress watched the Super Bowl last year?

How about Reggie Wayne & Marvin Harrison? Plaxico Burress last year?

I totally agree that lines have to get you to a championship, BUT you have to have dependable receivers who can get open, make tough catches, especially around the endzone to WIN championships (Tyree's catch & Burress' TD comes to mind from last years SB)

I think our line needs DEPTH, but they proved for the first 8 weeks what they can do when the passing game is a least A LITTLE successful to keep other teams out of the box... I mean, Portis sets a record for consecutive 150 yard games midseason & now all of the sudden they are terrible.

I'll say again... it goes back to defenses making the adjustment to not play soft any more and let our little scat-type receivers get easy space off the line for their little 6-8 yard routes... they took those away and BAM, now no passing threat, pack the box, no more running game, no receivers open when Campbell plants back foot, etc.
