We lack a possession WR, a slot WR, a true #2, a size WR. We have guys who could maybe do it (though only Parrish comes to mind as a slot guy) but nobody who has emerged. Fairchild will need what amounts to 2 #1 WR's. Like he did in STL with Holt and Bruce. We have Evans, but nobody else to run his vertical attack which only works if you have two consistent deep threats, so you can split the safeties and create a cushion between them and the LB's in a zone coverage scheme. Go deep to keep the safeties honest and the abuse the middle on crossing routes. Thats all depending on having a QB who can deliver the ball on time, with the right read, and the right touch. Which is another whole argument in itself.
St. Louis has never had a killer OL, its more based on the WR and the QB reads. Granted they never had quite as crappy an oline as we have.
