The receivers.

You have two receivers who would be good options for the fade: Peoples-Jones and Gentry.

DPJ is a tallish WR but an athletic FREAK who can probably jump out of the stadium. Tough to match up with on a jump ball.

Even harder to match up with is Gentry...6'7" by all accounts. How do you NOT throw him a jump ball? Get the guy in 1-on-1 coverage and toss him a jump ball. Almost impossible to defend, esp by 5'11" corners (or even 6'1" corners!!).

Heck, if you could get a 1-on-1 matchup at the goal line, you could almost go to the line of scrimmage and yell out to the defense: "I'M THROWING THE JUMP BALL TO GENTRY!!", and I don't believe it would matter. It's like rebounding in basketball...tough to beat a 6-8" size advantage!!
