Wide Receivers...

Speaking of Jacobs, who else was happy to see him back on the field finally?


I am. I would really like to see how he can perform when he's 100%. Hopefully he'll get some more balls thrown his way soon. He needs to step up.

I have to though, he made about 4-5 moves trying to get an extra half a yard when he caught a pass against Dallas.

I think the kid has some moves, I just want to start seeing them.

cooley!!!

how can everybody forget Gibb's answer to the lack of big, physical possession red zone threat?

WR #5 Sean Taylor.

Cooley, Patten, Jacobs and Thrash all need to become threats in their own rights. Cooley, in particular, is the key to opening things up in the passing game. I'd also like to see Portis catching more passes out of the backfield.

I totally agree. If Cooley steps it up, we should have a running game and a passing attack on both a short and deep level.

DISCLAIMER: I don't want to rehash the Brunell-Ramsey debate, but does anyone think that Brunell hasn't developed the chemistry with Cooley that Ramsey had? Ramsey looked to Cooley an awful lot and it seems like Cooley has been pretty quiet. Maybe things will turn around after a few weeks, but I'd like to see Cooley more involved in the offense's short-intermediate passing attack.

cooley didn't do much with brunell last year, once ramsey came in his number went sky high

Ramsey and Cooley were great

I've noticed that too. He seems to look in Thrash's direction more often when it comes to short/intermediate routes. One thing I like about Brunell over Ramsey is that Brunell is dumping it off to Portis, letting him use his legs for YAC.

I definitely want to see Cooley more involved in the attack.

portis deserves atleast 50 catches, he will do them good

I think (I hope) that we have not seen to much of Cooley because of the push to get the balls to our WR's downfield more. Now that teams will have to double up on Moss (maybe) Cooley will find deeper crossing routes and Brunnel will get him the ball.

Cooley has had a couple of nice catches and one bad drop. I loved the one catch in the Dallas game where he plowed over that guy for the first down and knocked his helment off.

Absolutely right! Passes to Portis that are the checkdown after the eligible lineman are not what I'm talking about though. Plays designed for him to catch a ball out of the backfield would be great.
