I think we have a lot of weapons at wideout, Coles and Gardner were more like scuds last year. Now a lot of that had to do with our offensive line play, deep routes had to be scrapped because there was no time and it took our qbs 12 weeks before either of them hit anything that even resembled a rhythm. Coles hasn't been right since injuring his toe two years ago, and 50/50 is well 50/50. There are still a lot of ifs, "if Taylor Jacobs can stay healthy, if Moss can handle the #1 receiver spot, if Ramsey can consistently play with poise and patience..."

Seems to me that we'll definitely have some defined roles for these guys, McCants did a good job in red zone situations under Spurrier so I don't see why he can't do the same under Gibbs. I don't think the Smurfs or the Fun Bunch had too much size but they were both successful groups of receivers. Hopefully Ramsey can get these guys the ball.
