Are the redskins gearing up for 5 WR sets?

This is accurate and exactly why I believe spreading the field isn't necessary.

He's making 2-3 read plays, how many dummy routes do we need, considering every player sent out is one less player to help in pass pro.

I would play 2 WRs all day, move Cooley all over the place, and let Yoder prove he deserves to be in the NFL. Send the backs into the pattern sometimes like we did in the first half against the Giants. Campbell generally makes good reads, he'll find the open guy.

I can't see a situation in which the Washington Redskins should ever have more than 3 of their wideouts on the field at once. With guys like Betts, Sellers, Portis, Cooley and Yoder, I believe having more than 3 WRs on the the field (and in most cases, more than 2 WR) is a strategic misuse of personnel.

Which is why we don't do it very often.
