There are too many other problems in the defense to worry about receivers right now, plus we just spent too much money on them to not give them another chance with a year of experience under their belt in the new offense. In addition, Moss is not just a deep threat, he is very dangerous after he catches the ball short, we've all seen him make plays like that. In addition, he is surprisingly strong for his size. Remember this year in the Jaguars game when he scored the TD in OT, he had two Jaguars hit him before he broke free and scored. Also, last year in the 2nd giants game he had a big TD after breaking two tackles, the man is pretty versatile. I just think you're discounting Moss's skills a little bit.
Are you sure ARE was never a number 2 at Pittsburgh, who was it last year if it wasn't him? I'm pretty sure it was him, they drafted that guy Santonio Holmes from Ohio State to take his place, and I'm pretty sure he starts now.

You are correct ARE was a starter for the Steelers last year he and Cedric Wilson split time. He is just not very productive and can not move the chains. We have too many deep receivers. I would like for our receivers NOT to have a good game every 3 to 4 games we need for someone to show up every game and we are just not getting that.

As far as the great catch that Santana made against the Jags he never broke any tackles the 2 guys basically ran into each other. I am not taking anything away from Moss, in fact,I am one of his biggest fans but it is a MUST that we get some size at that position THIS year by hook or by crook however we can get it it has to be done. The 3 and outs are killing us. I do not care what kind of defense we put together if they are on the field the majority of the game they are going to be worn out by the end of the end of the third quarter

Most fans love to see the deep passes but those passes are not high percentage ones and while they do have their places in games they should not be tried everytime a team passes. Defenses will pick up on that and we will start having games like the Rams game were our receivers were put totally on lock down.
