    You may be right, Mac. I'll have to go look at it again when I get the time. I don't think I'll agree, though...not about staying left. From memory, I recall there being an opening to Foster's right where the safety was waiting. Redman could have ran him over possibly if he could have bounced out.

    I say cut both Redman and Cotchery. If we go 0-3, this team will not be raising #7 this year. Might as well give the young guys a chance. I'm sure some team has a RB on their practice squad worth taking a look at. If Redman's blocking ability is why we keep him and Ben gets sacked 5 times a game and hurried several others, how could we possibly do worse?

    I don't mind Cotchery getting playing time he's reliable Ben passes were way off against the Bungles. The coaches probably trust Cotchery more at this point but they do need to get Wheaton involved in the game plan. Cotchery has more touchdowns than Brown and Sanders.

    Me either. Cotchery is a good slot receiver, makes the tough catches in traffic and blocks. Our problem is that we don't have a legitimate number one receiver which exposes the flaws of all the other WRs.

    Do we take another WR next year? Wheaton is not a big guy and I would love to have a guy that can really get physical. Wheaton may be scrappy but I'd love to have a big bodied wr too.

    I would think that WR would be very high on our priority list for the 2014 NFL draft. Preferably somebody 6'3" or taller!

    First let me say I AM a Cotchery supporter but I am not sure like the one poster said that he needs to be on the field 47 plays? As far as the RB's go, I am not seeing to much VISION from the core we have. Hopefully Felix Jone and Bell show more VISION. God knows are OL needs all the help they can get.

    I agree, I don't see why all the love for Cotchery, although he is just okay, he was targeted what about 10 times and caught 3 passes I believe. I can tell you that if Moyer was targeted 10 times, he would of caught more than 3 passes.

    Even if they are even players, which there not,I would still play Moyer more because of him getting experience and for the future. Cotchery is not going to do anything that Moyer can't do, except for maybe he nows all the plays. But I think Moyer wiould make that up with his aggression and hustle.

    I would hope that if the bottom really falls out this season, that they would bring up Justin Brown from the practice squad for a late season look see.

    Grab a TE first. Don't forget, we have Moye and J. Brown, have to see how those 2 progress but thats a couple of big targets.

    Cotch is solid mid field. Keep.

    Running Game: A lot of Jones, break it up with some Dwyer, w/ an occasional Redman.
    That's it.
