ORIGINAL: Hats4Bats Smith - Marsette hilights... This was what we needed. PUMPED Lengthy hilight reel.. but worth it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pR7m07KLqA Nate Stanley looks pretty good in these, as well! SOD. My favorite draft pick br far. Especially when you consider his QB at Iowa was crap. Several of those plays, he had gotten wide open only to have to slow up and wait for the ball and the DB to get there. That could explain why I saw him making so many contested catches. Also he won't have the #1 CB on him....which would explain the tight coverage too. The Vikes probably are only needing 20-30 catches from a third WR. 150-180 from Thielen/JJ. 40-50 from Irv. 30 to Cook.....so 100 catches from the rest? You really think the coverage he faced at Iowa was better than what he will face in the nfl? Really. So Tom you think 20-30 catches for him/Bisi/Beebe isn't reality and is too obtuse? I read somewhere that we went 3 wide last year fewer times than anybody else. That supports the platoon approach that you are talking about (with average or not yet developed players) combining for 30-40 recs. Sufficient? yes. but still ... as an example ... IMO it would be a sin to under-bid Dede Westbrook by whatever because we can fall back on freaking Bisi / Beebe / Smith-Marsette ... We might have no say in the matter at all, we might not have the money to be close but ... you know what I mean? I am just tired of aiming low with our back-ups (mostly on offense with Zimmer). WRs, Gs, before Mond it included back-up QB. With Rudolph gone, it now includes TE (if we run two TE sets more than anybody...) Mond was an important investment of capital. and very non-Spielmanesque. Same with G Davis. Spielman has never drafted 2 OL in the first 3 rounds. Dede Westbrook would be a very solid addition. also very non-Spielmanesque. (I can't see it happening) I understand that no team in the league has a B team of potential starters ... but we are so close to accumulating some solid depth this offseason and not just fillers ... Just them bringing in Westbrook and Kerrigan gives us some hope....(more Kerrigan then Westbrook Kerrigan has performed and Westbrook was always a potential guy....but it makes sense. Westbrook had over 60 recs in both 2018 and 2019 (before missing last year). More than just developmental - if healthy he is a notch above our usual non-starter get, for sure. It sounds like the Chiefs are charging hard at the guy though ... hard to compete with that. Yes he had 60 recs. How good were the Jags those two years. He tore his ACL late October. Also there is this little tidbit: The Jaguars placed Westbrook on injured reserve Monday, leaving the team with five receivers on the active roster. The season-ending setback comes at a tough time for Westbrook, who was bound for free agency this offseason. Given that he may not be back to full health for the start of the 2021 season, he could remain unsigned deep into the summer. Westbrook's stock had already dropped steeply before he suffered the ACL tear, as the 26-year-old had essentially been squeezed out of Jacksonville's rotation at receiver following back-to-back 60-catch campaigns. He was active for just the second time all season Sunday, playing all 11 of his snaps on special teams. I know there was a ton of promise for him and like I said he has been disappointing. Like I said earlier Kerrigan has a better chance to contribute. Disappointing? Not sure what your expectations are for a 4th rounder with his production on a wr deep team. Let us all bend the knee and pray that Smith-Marsette contributes half as much. Lets just say, if healthy, he would be a step up from Bisi Beebe (and Sharpe last offseason). I know its heresy in here, but the chances of ISM putting up 66 recs a season are slim. Certainly not year one. A fifth yr player coming off injury is risky but honestly, its the only way for Spielman to take a sniff of a WR or G or DE or S or TE right now (where we could still need help) ... the goods have to be a little damaged. Who said ISM is going to have 66 recs? I don't care who the WR is...they might hit gold with Westbrook, ISM, Myron Mitchell, or Whop or whomever. Just providing you with facts found on the Jax website. He barely played last year except on ST. You are shifting from 'Westbrook is disappointing' to 'I never said ISM would have 66 recs'. I'm not even saying Westbrook will have 66 RECs should we sign him, very very doubtful. 66 recs (twice) is just a number that demonstrates an ability to produce – none of our back-up WRs have come close to that. Westbrook probably gives you (at some point) a 3rd WR who can mop up with Thielen and JJ on the field, and give you better injury insurance than we currently have. I posted exactly what came from Jax site. I think not seeing the field except for ST is disappointing. I have no problem with Westbrook but I like Kerrigan as a FA better. Calm down. Just my opinion. DE is a bigger mess. What is it with you and Anderson. I'm trying to stay on point but your argument's are like a rubik's cube sometimes. I didn't say anything about Kerrigan, he has nothing to do with with whether Westbrook would upgrade our backup WR situation. Nevermind. I have to pace myself ... I'm months away from another apology / Rabbit of Caerbannog retreat.
