(Vent thread) I'm sorry,but the notion,that the Redskins have "no" receivers is just stupid!

Taking the TEs out of the equation I don't see how anyone can argue we look weak on paper.

I'm hopeful that Moss will be rejuvenated with McNabb, Armstrong will be the real deal, and Thomas can take a big step forward.

But right now our WR group looks very iffy.

But Matt,that's the problem with all this speculation.

Everyone seems to take out the TE's on this debate,when it shouldn't be.

Unlless Shanahan is running a 4 or 5 Wide Spread offense in every base formation,than the world might be correct. We probably aren't going to scare anyone.

But how often will this happen?

That all changes as soon as you put the 2 TE formation on the field? (or even a package with Just cooley)
How many LB's can cover Cooley and Davis at the same time?
Cause they will force D-coord to use Safeties with their talent...
Which will leave Galloway Moss or even Armstrong in 1-on-1 coverage...

We might not have the Best receiving core in the world,but I bet anyone we can create more mismatches than many NFL teams buy having 2 GREAT TE's on the field at the same time...

I think it's fair to evaluate the WRs and the TEs on their own. Yes when you add them together you get a much more formidable group, but the fact is our WRs do kinda stink, at least on paper right now.
