re: The need for a big tall WR is more evident every game.

We need to recruit a big, tall WR like it is its own position. The way that the game is played today, you have to have one of your top 3 WRs be a guy who can go up and get the ball in the Red Zone. Just like you need a FB or OT or FS, you need a tall WR, especially for the Red Zone - and we also need a pass catching TE.
How we got to this point is inexplicable, really. I am glad that the other guys are stepping up, but we need a Terrance Toliver or even a Rueben Randle (6-2) on the team.

i'm sure we are trying to do exactly that (just like every other team). our red zone offense needs a tight end receiver and a tall guy to throw the fade to. hopefully, mett will improve his fade pass as the pro's will definately require that. and he has improved it somewhat but needs to keep improving.

Not necessarily. You need a WR that can get open. PERIOD. The Steelers are 1 of the better teams in the NFL when it comes to passing and their tallest WR is 6'0. Jarvis went up and got the ball on that TD vs Bama. Hes not 6'4. You dont need a big guy if you have players than know how to get open and a QB that knows when and where to put the ball. O and in regards to Terrance Toliver, he was 1 of the more overrated players weve had in the past few years. Played good against UF and good against TAMU in the Cotton Bowl. That was his entire career.
We also have a 6'6 pass catching TE. When he plays he looks great, but for some reason he doesnt see the field that much.
