    - I never paid attention till after the trade, but what happened in that meeting with Bowlen and McDaniels that went so wrong? - musubi Aug 31, 12:00
  - All you need is one receiver to step up. It's a complete team otherwise. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:36 11
    - I'm not sure it has to be one receiver. With Forte and Olsen/Clarke I think they can find downfield threats in Hester and Bennett enough to be able - pmb Aug 31, 11:52 1
      - I can see them running Hester and Knox down the sidelines and just eating up the underneath and seams with the TEs and RB's. (nm) - musubi Aug 31, 11:55

        It'll be sad if our best receivers are our RB and TE again -- nm - oblique Aug 31, 11:39 2
        
        I expect Greg Olsen to wind up with 800+ receiving yards. -- nm - David Aug 31, 11:40 1
        
        Agreed -- nm - amoxy Aug 31, 11:49
      - He's too short, Cutler's already said so. (nm) - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:38
