Yes, they certainly have great depth at pass catcher now, but at the expense of how much else?"

I tend not to listen to sportswriters (and fans who think they are "more correct than not") who don't have a clue.... JLC is correct, you can't run four WRs & two TEs. It requires 12 players, or an illegal formation.

JLCs credibility (and yours) just went out the window. JLC is the main Washington Post writer for the Redskins and he doesn't know enough about football to know the VERY basics. Embarrassing! HS players know this stuff.

It would be nice instead of bashing peoples credibility and moving on, to go ahead and explain how all these players will be utilized. It's quite obvious what JLC's point is that there is only room for so many of the same skill players. So lets throw out the 4-2 analogy and explain how you would use Moss, El, Cooley, Davis, Kelly, Sellars, Thomas, and lets throw Portis in that mix? Keep in mind these players were not drafted to be backup's in this league.

When you finish lets compare there possible production to other needs at other positions.
