Our current WR corp isn't as near as talented as that group. Meach & Henderson could stretch the field, while Moore was slippery and reliable for getting in those soft spots in the zone. Meanwhile you had great TE play from either Shockey or Graham.
I based my post off of your statement that our offense runs through our TE's.
We have and will continue to use empty back sets as long as the o-line does their job.
