That's Joey Galloway. Or, more specifically, that's how many games Joey Galloway has been healthy enough to play in over the last three seasons before ending up in Washington.
Here are some more numbers:

That's how many games Joey Galloway has been healthy enough to actually start in over those same three seasons.
5
Seconds. That's how long it took me to believe Devin Thomas was a bust after we drafted him.
Now I'm certainly no Thomas fan--I never have been. Ditto for Malcolm Kelly. Drafting either of these two players was a huge gamble. But was it more of a gamble than actually cutting Thomas today?
Cutting Thomas has now left us praying more than ever against the injury bug hitting our receivers.
Certainly Shanahan is enough of a student of the game to know that he can't count on Galloway being healthy for more than half of the games this season. That's the exact reason why Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh and New England all got rid of him. He's a crafty, speedy veteran, but his body simply won't let him get on the field as much as we would like.
So in the unfortunate, and very likely event that Galloway is once again out for a large part of the season, where does that leave us in the receiver department? Who would step in, and more importantly, step up to be our second receiving threat to compliment Moss?
Anthony Armstrong has shown potential. But enough potential to keep Moss from being doubled on every play? Enough to feel good about our chances of moving the ball through the air?

That's how many games Roydell Williams has played in the NFL over the last two seasons, prior to joining Washington.

That's how many games Mike Furrey and Malcolm Kelly will play this season.
And that's not even to mention the worst scenario--Moss being injured for any significant period of time. Would that make Joey Galloway our number one receiver?
Grab a drink, and get some tickets for the show tonight. We have a new shooter at the table.
Let's hope he doesn't crap out.
Hail.
