... I think we're going to need to stretch the field more to open up the running and short passing game.

I agree -- but the question is, how to stretch it? Stretching it vertically is always appreciated, but I think we have the weapons to stretch the field horizontally. Hogan has thrown some nice quick slants before, which should give linebackers pause. Young and Montgomery can handle bubble screens, fly sweeps, etc. We can open up running lanes in a variety of ways (and I hope we do!)

We need more big plays at any rate, so deep throws will be needed no matter what.
