The downfield game's impacted partly because Smith's unable to go deep, partly because they don't really have a dependable deep threat even if he could (Avery's probably the closest). I think the tight ends will be favorable matchups in the intermediate game, as will Bowe. And I think we may see a lot of McCluster early on, then he'll get cycled out gradually.

Yeah, we don't have a deep threat really. What we have is big tight ends and big wide receivers who can exploit the one on one matchups, and they can't double cover everyone.
