Our lack of a secondary receiver is killing us

Moss' hands aren't as good as Randle El, but he can run every route on the field and is our only deep threat. I don't count Devin Thomas because 10 games into his career, he can't even line up right.

One thing that no one notices is that the Redskins receivers as a whole are very smart and never really line up out of place. Thomas is a rookie, yes, but you can't teach a sense of the game, which he simply isn't ever going to have.

Devin Thomas will have better games. I don't think he'll ever be dependable.

Would u go so far to say Thomas is officially a bust or will he make a contribution @ some point?

It starts at the line of scrimmage. Our 2nd and 3rd WR's may look better if we could protect Jason. We can't block anybody, and we can't rush the passer. It's so damn annoying.

Yeah, that's the bottom line. Rice and Taylor, Irvin and Harper -- none of those guys in their prime would matter if Campbell has a DLineman in his face before he takes three steps back.

Don't forget JJ Stokes and Tai Streets.
