Sporting News' Analysis: Wide Recievers

And I definitely don't agree. The productivity was down across the board last year and when Ramsey got hurt we were pretty much done. This is a new season, but there hasn't even been a preseason game so I think the Sporting News is a little lazy and is underestimating the new coaching staff.

If I could see the offense run about 50 less wide receiver screens this season, I'll be happy.

memphisskin,
Thank you for pointing out the obvious to all the prognosticators and the Rod Gardner haters. Everyone but Coles played bad and made mistakes last year.
It is amazing how some think the new coaching staff is going to magically fix everyone but Rod Gardner.
I don't know why Gardner is the fall guy for last year?
By the way, Rod Gardners trade value is low. For those that think we will get an impact player for him are probably the same people that thought we would get a first round pick for Trotter, Canidate and who ever else we ended up releasing for free.
