do we miss Braylon Edwards?? Watching the games, I put most of the blame on the O-line play and the play calling, but could it be our old WR out in San Fran meant more to the team? He was constantly praised as a good run blocker (something we have had a problem with this year) and he was an actual receiving threat, at least more-so than his replacements Mason and Burress. Interested in seeing what people think
I think Braylon has been missed. He posed a viable deep threat. He was a great blocker in the running game but Plax has been as well so that hasn't been a downgrade. But I think he has been missed in the passing game between the 20's. Inside the Red Zone Plax is the better option though.
Braylon's run blocking only comes into effect when the RB breaks outside contain or goes into the second-level of the defense, two things that have barely happened all year. I would have preferred Braylon over Plaxico but I don't think that change has had any discernible effect on the offense.
