Offense-unit analysis

Totally Missing the Point Alert!

I\'m not so sure that the WRs are the \"weak link\" (this really is a quote) on the offense nearly as much as the TEs became a \"stronger link\" (this is me coining a phrase).

The passing yardage is within 300 yards of last season and Conwell and Williams caught FAR more yardage this season than the TEs did in 2002.

Words Mean things Alert
I think there\'s a big difference in \"Horrid\" (your quote) and \"Weak-Link\" (my quote). On a unit thats pretty good to begin with a weak link may be far from horrid.

All ribbing aside, the TE position did improve over last years sub par performance. And the WR\'s did not improve. I believe they regressed. If our WR\'s had improved as much as our TE\'s did Brooks numbers would have been Marino-esgue off the charts.
Its debateable which was the weaker link between the O-line and the WR\'s. But if you notice I gave the WR\'s a C and the O-line a B-minus.
I don\'t see how anyone could argue that the WR\'s regressed. Especially looking at the constantly injured Stallworth and key drop after key drop.
