It could easily be that they feel Brown and Foster are somewhat redundant, and more effective together in 4WR sets, and that Cole in the slot, Zay running intermediate routes and Brown being the deep guy is the best three pronged attack. I don't happen to agree with that in total because I don't think that Zay is a good intermediate guy, he is best at the 3-8 yard routes like Beasley will be doing. But there is a logic to it. Not to mention that Foster does seem to need a fire lit under him, and Zay had a great off-season and was the veteran starter at that position last year. Zay needs to take a giant leap in year three in a lot of areas, I sure hope he does. Foster needs to show he can run and be effective in 5-15 yard routes. He showed flashes last year but just flashes.

Zay has about six problems with his game. None of them are running bad routes or knowing the plays or blocking. The things these guys are saying he’s doing.

No, spelling on this site. It’s “grammatical.”

It happened quite late in the practice from what I was following.

A lot will likely also revolve around how good of a blocker Foster shows himself to be versus Zay. The base set will likely be 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB. On running downs we may see more Zay and on obvious passing downs (in the three WR) perhaps more Foster. Four and five wide they will likely both be in.

I don’t have it in front of me but he seems to have a legitimate appeal case. He SAYS that he and his wife took fertility drugs in April or something. A few days later he found out it contained a substance banned. He immediately notified the league and team before any failed test was known. And he couldn’t possibly have used it in April as a ‘performance enhancer.” IF all of that is true he has a good case and the NFL will probably still deny it.

Not to mention why put an * when you didn’t put one in earlier that you are referencing.

I think he meant over Ray Ray, especially because McKittrick and Ray Ray are redundant.

He’d be the ideal spokesman for crock pots and slow cookers.

I have seen endless reports on twitter all three days from people there, both professionals and amateurs, that John Brown is just killing it. Having deep speed is one thing, and even the threat of that deep speed can have an affect on the defense and therefore game. But to be really good as a deep receiver you must have at least five different skills, which are deep speed, ability to get off the line, ability to track the ball and adjust (which may be the most important and elusive), the good hands to make the catch, and the ability to combine the speed, tracking and hands to keep at a high speed until the endzone. Brown has it all. He's not great but those guys are few and far between. Him and Allen are quite a match made in heaven.

Foster is fine.

I agree. As of right now I don’t expect him to make the 53. Just saying it’s no surprise that his name first appears in a physicality play, which is why a bunch of fans are excited to see him play. He’s the one type of WR we don’t have. We have fast, shifty, smallish, crisp route runners, homerun hitters, move the chains types. We don’t have the big physical outmuscle you guy. It would be a nice complementary component.

Fun while it lasted. Took them less time to forget him than it did for him to get there.

Not surprising that Duke shows up when the pads are on, that is his advantage and value add.

There were posts after posts after posts calling McKenzie McKittrick last year.

How can you be a mod and not know who McKittrick is?

I liked the pick last year and I loved "The Concept of Ray Ray Ray McCloud" but he was flat out lousy. McKittrick filled in for that concept and often did a damn decent job of it, particularly on the jet sweeps and short passes. We could use a jackrabbit of all trades like that as opposed to a 6th WR who is likely not going to get on the field. Hopefully the light came on for him.

That's awesome, although apparently no player actually did it.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Don’t go overreacting about overreactions.

Just think how many completely different takes there are on here about the exact same game or series or play all of us watched on sunday. Two reporters watching yesterday could say completely opposite things about the same circumstance. One is a drop, one is a bad pass.

All work and no playmaking makes Kelvin a dull boy.

That's why I was suspect of the report right from the get-go.

Exactly. Like all the superheroes who put on their panties after they pull up their tights.

They need players right now though. The massive cut happens a week before the season starts. That would really put them at a disadvantage. Granted, stuff happens like Allan Hurns being cut out of nowhere at any time. If this happened a couple days ago he probably signs with the Giants instead of the Fins.
