Good points. It seems like the smaller recievers Harrison, Smith catch alot of their td passes by big plays (not all, but alot). Big plays...meaning 25 yards or more. We have a problem w/ that too no doubt.

I don't disclude smaller recievers it just seems like the bigger WR are better threats to score when the ball is in the red zone. Just my opinion. I think what other teams said was our lack of a big play WR hindering JC, not necessarily a big WR. I do think a big talented play making receiver would be a tremendous benefit. They don't grow on trees though.
