Our lack of a secondary receiver is killing us

[Hog1]

It is amazing how good our recieving corps looks when Campbell throws while on his feet rather than laying on his back. Our recievers will probably be ok, and our newbies will acclimate, but no blocking?
NO MATTER

[JLee9718]

I didn't see too much of London Fletcher in the Cowboys game. Does anybody know his stats?

[DIRTEE]

I would love to see Fred Davis as the number two receiver in red zone situations.

[Stacks42]

The skins should try Cooley as a wideout and put either Yoder or Davis in as 6th lineman if our line cant stop the rush.

[MiraclesHappen07]

Aren't we forgetting someone? I mean what about Cooley? Cooley has not been a factor at all this year, i mean do we even throw to him anymore? I recall maybe once or twice lastnight Campbell throwing to him, but thats it. Why hasnt he been envolved more? We all no what he can do, and if he becomes more of a target year im sure it will up more things for Moss and Portis.
And im not ready yet to call Thrast or Kelly a bust yet...

I think you have selective memory: we've targeted Cooley over 70 times this year, second only to Moss.

Nah it's cool. We do seem to forget about Cooley for long periods of time. His targets usually come all at one point in a game. Zorn's sort of bizzare (but not neccessarily bad) like that.

Alright, lol. Its frustrating at times and seem to forget who is envolved and who isn't. Ohwell lets hope we can find someone to step up, or maybe put in Davis some more

[djnemo65]

Now that we are losing suddenly it's ARE's fault? Teams like Carolina, Buffalo, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, and the Jets seem to be doing fine without a stud number two (or in the case of Tennessee running away with the league without a number one). An offense will never be more than the sum of its parts, and with breakdowns in the o-line and regressions in the running game, that's going to limit the receivers' ability to impact games. ARE runs the routes and works hard and is really the least of our worries right now.

[SBXVII]

I don't think the three rookies are a bust. I blame the person responsible for getting them NFL ready. Who is that? ...possibly Stan Hixon? Our WR have sucked ever since we pulled him from the college level. Does he even know how to teach a WR to run out of a cardboard box? It's his duty to make sure our WR are ready to play. He does not have to work with Moss, ARE, Thrash...they are vets. That leaves only three more right. We came into the season with six WR's. If he can't teach the Vets how to run crisp routes and get seperation then who thought he was going to take the rookies to the next level?

Sportscurmugeon, You forgot to mention Atlanta/ Miami. I know someone else mentioned them but Atlanta is starting a new QB and is throwing the ball getting TD's. I guess JC sucks also if a rookie QB in Atlanta can take a new offense to the next level and score more TD's. and lets not talk about Miami....with their "Wildcat offense" they are not even using a QB. lol. Totally eliminated one short fall on their offense. lol.

To say our rookies are a bust right now is silly. How would you know? They really have'nt been given much of a chance to see what they can do. It's not Kellys fault he's been hurt. If you want to judge him, judge him after he's had a few games on the field under his belt. Thomas has gotten open downfield and not been thrown to according to Zorn. How many times has Davis been thrown to? I think it's more a case of them not being targeted instead of a testament to their talent.

seems like every time davis has the ball thrown his way the ball is off target.. I know that I'm not remember all of the attempts, but yeah

as far as a couple people commenting on Cooley not getting the ball much, we're always having him in as an extra blocker because we know that the blitz is coming so often

SBXVII:

Sorry, but I only had enough bile to hurl to cover one of the really bad NFL teams and to compare their ability to score TDs with the 2008 Redskins.

You are correct. The Dolphins have a new QB and a new system and seem to be handling business well. They average about 3 points a game more than the Redskins.

The Falcons have a rookie QB and a new coach and they have outscored the Skins by 50 points this year.

The Ravens have a rookie QB and a new coach and they have outscored the Skins by 31 points this year.

This might take too long so ... Let's make a list of the teams who have scored FEWER points than the Redskins this year:

Cincy Bengals

KC Chiefs

Oakland Raiders

Detroit Lions (more TDs but fewer total points)

St Louis Rams.

That's it! That's the list!!

Those five teams are all AWFUL; they are not ones who are having a bad season or ones that have had misfortune ruin their hopes for the season. Those teams STINK.

And they are the only teams that have scored fewer points than the Redskins have scored in 10 games this year.

Thank You, that was great. I'm SO tired of hearing new system, new system, new system.
