I have been thinking about this as well and here is one of my theorys..... Cooley is a big redzone threat, because he is either going to the corner, or "sitting down" beneath the zone. Our WRs need to score on a post or a slant or a crossing pattern which is going against zone coverage a lot of the time. When Campbell has hit the deep one against man coverage, our WRs (Moss and Randle El specifically) are catching the ball, but not in stride, where they can get YAC and score. They have been catching it going out of bounds or then getting tackled immediately. Campbell has a great arm, but our WR are having to adjust a little I think on some of his deeper balls and are doing all they can to just catch it. But they are not able to extend the catch into the homerun. Anyway, those are my thoughts. We have not tried to hit a WR very often in the redzone, because we don't have a big target like a R. Moss or T.O. or Boldin, Marques Colston...... note to Vinny, next year go get a 6-2 WR! I guess Lloyd should be that guy, but he can't get on the field!
