Wayne is slipping. He doesn't need to be doubled and he is no longer a threat to get deep. He will be 33 next year. At this point, Wallace is much more dangerous. Ward is much more physical even at this stage and a better inside target than any of those receivers you named. Garcon is a product of Peyton Manning as is Austin Collie or Tammie or anyone else they throw out there. Garcon is indeed a slouch.

Mendenhall is much better than either of those team's featured backs. This is a huge difference. Mendenhall is a threat to break it. Neither Green-Ellis nor Donald Brown is going to generate any kind of fear out of a d coodinator. Mendenhall is capable of carrying the offense by himself.
