If Moss is out - can ARE and Lloyd step up?

We know that if he throws it Lloyd's way he can out jump the cowgirls secondary so I'd love to see Brunell tossing it deep a few times on 1st and 2nd down to stretch the field and open it up for Portis.

Of course, we all hope Moss plays but perhaps if he doesn't it will at least force Brunell to look elsewhere - looking on the bright side, this could be the time for Lloyd and ARE to break out.

I really don't think its about "will they step up". They are paid professonals. They will be ready. The problem is this: Moss does things on a football field that cannot be duplicated. Not just by ARE or Lloyd, but by anyone in the NFL. We lose Moss, and we lose about half of our big play ability. Nevertheless, we have the recievers to play this game, and move the chains. We just have to hope that the D comes around, because without Moss, we won't be able to keep up in a shootout.
