Redskins Recieving corps.

I agree, Chris Cooley is the heart of the offense whether it is Gibbs, Saunders, or Zorn. Davis just makes it a little harder for opponents to match up with Cooley. Redskins now have 8 legitimate skill position players in addition to the QBs, provided everyone stays healthy. Randel El and Moss are super quick and will have to be covered by CBs or else... When Thomas or Kelly is out there 3 CBs will have to be on the field or one of the three WRs on the field will shred the safety; When Davis is out there either the two safeties will have to each cover a tight end or Cooley or Davis should be taking apart a linebacker.

When 3 CBs are on the field things will be opened up for Portis or Betts in the run game and pass game. When the safeties have to play coverage on Cooley and Davis it should open things up in the run game or for deep passes to the running backs. When the safeties try to stuff the run, any of the three receivers has a good chance of beating the cornerbacks on mid-range to deep routes, and the tight ends can beat the linebackers for 30 yard grabs down the middle. If for some reason all of these matchup advantages are covered by great defense, Cambell can take 15 yard jogs out of bounds for defensively disheartening first downs.

The depth is nice, but Zorn is giddy because of matchup problems. Instead of double covering Moss and Cooley, defenses will have to be very careful about matchups and choose their poisons because they can't stop everyone or double cover anyone. Of course it is all just theory, dependent upon how well and how quickly the guys they just drafted can figure out how to use their undoubtable physical talents... But I don't think any of the receivers they drafted, or any of their current stars are free to be dealt or released in the next 2 or 3 years.

They have moss who sucked last year and took himself out the game and 3 rookies i would say the red skins recieving corp sucks if you ask me cooley is about the only thing they have, i really dont see them winning more than 7 games

Good point trano, but let's see what the new offense is like.  Joe Gibbs was a proponent of a one back offense, with the fullback being replaced by an H-Back.  His second go around he modified it some to get Sellers in there, but you are right Cooley wasn't quite a conventional tight end under Gibbs.  Gibbs isn't there now, and I think Zorn wants a more West Coast style so we'll see if the H-Back stays, if Cooley becomes a typical TE, and how often they run a 2 TE set.

Rookie receivers rarely make a huge impact, so I think Jason Campbell might get a pass for this year, but he will have to get that offense humming soon.

New offense, new head coach, unproven rookie receivers and you think Cooley is expendable....ROTFL..Redskin fans, gotta love em. 

Cooley is the only consistent player on that offense, Moss and Portis are hurt too much.  Zorn is implementing a West Coast offense...do you have any idea how long it takes COMPETENT personnel to get up to speed on that?!
