It amazes me how many people place so much emphasis on the deep pass on receivers and pure speed.
The line still has to give the QB time to release the ball, and he has to make an accurate throw.

I disagree about us not having a downfield threat. Sure, we don't have a Randy Moss, but who does? Kennison is definately a downfield threat. Here are some statistics. Kennison was 7th in the league last season in ypc at 17.5. Of the top 15 players in ypc last season he had the most yards at 1086.
Additionally, we have WON several games the last few seasons on long receptions for TDs by him. The two that come to mind are the Green Bay game in 2003 and the last season's first Raiders game.
People also forget that Kennison missed two games last season. He would have most likely had 1200+ yards last year if not for his injuries. He had a very good year, and he was a good deep threat.
