[Vague Title]

Marquez Stevenson, He is the fastest wide receiver. It gives Josh a deep threat that can outrun defensive backs and is good when at college of running after the catch because right now no wide receiver currently playing scares teams going deep.   Plus, in the one preseason game that they played him at wide out he was impressive with his hands and catching the ball with defenders right out around him.  I think Mcdermott made a mistake when he said he did not trust his returners to catch the ball in that wind against the Patriots.

WR play is the very least of our problems.

Can he run block?

[John from Riverside]

Frankly I am not that impressed yet....in real games they guy isnt making any plays as a return guy

Stevenson is a bust, another paycheck player....I would like to see Mckenzie get more playing time. Actual passing routes.

I like his elusiveness, but ball security must be drummed into his head. One fumble in a big spot could decide a game and our season.

He looks like a scared rookie on kick returns. Idk. Not sold until he gets some swag and makes a few plays.

But someone that can pop the top off or at least give the safeties something to consider is definitely missing.  

 

If he's active, give him 5 snaps and unleash 1 to him.  Get it on tape so the D has to game plan for it.

 

Right now the Ds we play game plan is:

 

"They can't run it.  We actually want them to.  Double team Diggs and be physical with him and their not physical smaller WRs because the refs never call us for Def holding against them anyway.  Yes that Knox is good he's their #2 now."  

 

 

 

Mecole Hardman sucks but that doesn't stop the Chiefs who already have Hill from throwing the occasional bomb to him.

 

Same the Packers and MVS.  I'm just saying if he's active you should find a way to use him at least once.

Same here. Have not seen anything from the guy in the limited action we have seen.

Really? Diggs has been an excellent deep threat his entire career. He's had 2 incidents with tracking recently, but that's not an ongoing problem, he gets open deep.

 

The issue is how do we give Josh 4 seconds to unleash a deep bomb with our OL?

[thenorthremembers]

We will see what he has in the long term but right now his game speed looks nowhere near Mckittricks.

he strikes me better as a KR. He sort of has more straight ahead speed. No real wiggle to him, which is what you need as a PR.

My thoughts too. Looks like he's never even seen a kickoff before. Maybe getting him involved in the passing game may give him some more confidence. 

So far, his reported speed isn't really showing.

Yeah, he doesn't look like he belongs out there yet. 

He needs to get racked up a couple times without fumbling; maybe then he can focus more on attacking opponents than defending the ball.

[Captain_Quint]

His college highlights show his extra gear. Hope he finds it in the NFL. Him working out of the slot on a slant looks deadly.

And a 6th round pick to boot!  How can a 6th round pick even be a bust?

Agreed, Both Diggs and Sanders have shown they can consistently get even deep this year.
