This is certainly a concern . . .

Right now our targets in the redzone are most likely Cooley, Portis, Sellers, and sometimes Moss. This just simply isn't enough. Cooley should ALWAYS be covered like a blanket near the goal line. Portis has the speed to get around the edge, but that can only work so many times. Sellers had a couple seasons in which he caught several redzone TD's, but I guess teams are looking for it now. And Moss can get open with his speed on occasion, but his height makes him an easy match up in a close field.

Luckily we have some rookies that were brought in for this problem specifically. They just aren't there yet, and I wouldn't expect them to be until halfway through the season. Zorn is still a bit down on them, but he says Davis is the farthest along, which could really help (who's gonna be able to match up against Cooley AND Davis?). BUt Kelly is hurt again, and Thomas has had only one catch. So, I think this problem will work itself out, but I wouldn't expect it to change any time soon.
