How the Hell is this happening!

I think SC is absolutely right; especially about the wide receivers. Coles is good, but he hasn't shown the brilliance that he did in New York....but I'll give him the fact that he's been injured even though he had the same injury last season and I figured that would have been taken care off in the off season. Cooley has developed into a decent tight end, but as SC states, there is no one else to go to as far as passing tight ends. The RB position is fine, but one thing I would upgrade is the full back position. We need a big guy to come in on those third and ones or third and shorts...a Bettis type of guy. Portis would still be our number one RB, but his running style doesn't match up too well in these situations. Another thing that is missing that Gibbs had in his previous tenure (which goes along with the big full back) is the jumble package. On downs where the yardage was short, Gibbs would take out of his smaller quicker linemen and replace them with bigger linemen that could shove any D-line back...it was almost automatic that we would get the first down or TD (depending on the situation.) I haven't seen anything like that this year, but I think that is something that could help us to make those first downs easier when right now 3 and short is still a challenge.

Don't get me wrong, I do think our receivers have the talent, size, skills...but I think it comes back to what I said before... the sport is 90% mental 10% physical..and we need at least one Art Monk type of receiver on our team.
