See, I don't know where people are getting that Welker is this beast receiver all of a sudden. For the most part, the Cardinals WRs, who are arguably better than Stallworth and Welker, didn't do much against the Skins until WAY late in the game, and even then, it wasn't much.

I'm a little concerned about the Moss match-up, but I really think the Skins corners will hold their own against Stallworth and Welker.

I'm far more concerned about Watson than those other two.

Yeah, the Welker thing is killing me too. This is a guy who's taken advantage of teams having to double up on Moss. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but let's not get carried away either. Ditto Stallworth.

He has two good games in a row and all of a sudden he's the best slot receiver in football? Gimme' a break.

Now, I'm not saying he isn't talented and he won't score a TD against us, but honestly, we've covered better receivers before already this season.
