Creative route running for WRs

[hurrykaine]

Since this went unanswered in another forum, I thought I'd bring it up again in a new thread.

Here's something that baffles me. Why doesn't Gibbs' playbook feature any creative route running (especially cross-routes) for the WRs? Brandon Stokely doesn't exactly have blazing speed, but how many times have you seen him catch TDs completely untouched, with no DBs within 10 yards of him? Surely his speed is not what's causing the separation. The separation is only attributable to creative route running, or Peyton being a shifty-eyed mofo and conning the DBs, or both.

Why can't we incorporate this into our offense? Someone please enlighten us. I suppose for starters, we have to beef up the O-line so that we don't have to block with 8, and this would release an additional receiver that would contribute to more of a downfield threat.
