Another school of thought is Rod Gardner will have a better year than 2002, because Coles will draw the double team and will leave Gardner open. If you look at the other receivers in 2002 we had:
Derrius Thompson
Darnerien McCants
Kevin Lockett
Jacquez Green
None of those guys strike fear in a secondary and their stats in 2002 reflected it. Rod Gardner was basically a one man show that year. He did well despite defensive secondary's geared to stop him.
I am looking for Rod Gardner to have a good year this year in the Art Monk role of Joe Gibbs offense.
