Re: Tony McGee: Redskins vs. Raiders
Tony made an excellent point about chemistry in the passing game. We have two viable threat to throw the ball to (not including Portis). Healthy players - be they Jacobs, Farris, or whoever - won't have a season's worth of experience with Brunell, and won't have the respect of opposing defenses.
My advice for the SD game would be to establish someone other than Cooley and Moss early, with short passes if necessary. If (for exmaple) Jacobs catches three hitches in the first drive, regardless of the yardage gained, the defense will account for him. Then something else will be out there.
