Just curious T. Jacobs has not produced and from the way it sounds he is left in man coverage. The dude can fly, where is his weakness, route running, getting off the line with the DB. That short slant is hard as hell to cover for a DB, so why is he not getting the ball he is much faster than Cooley and surely can run a better route as a WR so how is Cooley getting open and Jacobs not. Most of the time when he gets it, also on the edge none across the middle. Is Brunell not looking their way and focused on Moss and Cooley. Are we saying they suck because of the stats, because even Patten stats sucked and if I recall alot of people were saying he sucked as a number two receiver, now we revert that he was the reason why Moss is blanketed now. From what I see we are not getting the ball to our # 2 and 3 receivers no matter who is in there. It is not Patten demanded more coverage than the other guys, Defenses just blanket moss and say beat us with your # 2 and #3 receivers. From the beginning of the year our 2nd and 3rd receivers have not even had many balls thrown to them. I can recall watching some of the games Patten running alone and never looked at by the QB. I think the only time Brunell hits a secondary receiver is if it is a dump down when he is being pressured.
