Wide Receivers In The Wco - According To Bill Walsh
-
How I Evaluate Each Position:
Wide Receiver
By Bill Walsh
PSX Draft Insider Special
WIDE RECEIVER
Ideal size: 6-3, 210
The critical factor at wide receiver in my mind is agility and body control, the ability to change your body position often off the g round in order to get your hands in position to make the catch, ala Cris Carter of Minnesota. He would be the ideal in that respect.
That particular characteristic must be there for the receiver to be considered a Pro Bowl or a Hall of Fame player. You must have that to get to the highest tier of play.

YAC is the biggest factor in the WCO and of course timing...I dont think Walsh ever coached James Lofton because I remember weatching a game of wich he was a color analyst and I remember him passionately stating during a game in wich Lofton was playing for the Bills. "I wouldve loved to coach him" He sighed as he was talking about Lofton.

Bill Walsh told Lofton back at Stanford that success demands a certain display of confidence and class, that when he made it big he should buy himself a Porsche.

In 1977, Walsh was hired as the head coach at Stanford where he stayed for two seasons. His two Stanford teams went 9–3 in 1977 with a win in the Sun Bowl, and 8–4 in 1978 with a win in the Bluebonnet Bowl; his notable players at Stanford included quarterbacks Guy Benjamin and Steve Dils, wide receivers James Lofton and Ken Margerum, and running back Darrin Nelson. Walsh was the Pac-8 Conference Coach of the Year in 1977.

yes. don't forget good hands to. as someone stated in a previous thread (was it you or someone else?), deflected passes are deadly in the wco. since the wco is a short to mid-range passing game (for the most part) that area would be congested by defenders. a deflected pass could easily end up in the wrong hands.

If you want agility and hands in this draft, there's one guy who stands out. Hint: it ain't Jones or Baldwin.

that's what makes this draft so difficult for me. the thought of a possible trade back with a team like atl to get extra picks is very appealing. but it would be very hard to pass up a guy like aj if he's still on the board. i'll be glad when the draft gets here.

Great thread.............astute observations............I am still waiting for the NFL to go back to the two back offense which provides more options to score. Right now, and stupidly, the FULLBACK is a guard in the backfield. In the Day, when offense ruled and West Coast Offense was supreme as invented by Paul Brown and Cleveland Browns..........the FORCEs in the offense were the QB and Fullback.............the Fullback was the main running threat and a receiving threat as well................The halfback was the elusive guy who was also a receiving threat
and the QB as always was supreme
Thanks OTTO
I will never forget all the passes Jim Brown took for yards into the yard................and the devastating tatum of Byner and Mack.......................
someday it will all come back and religion will not be secular but based on fact and data
THANK YOU ALL FOR ONE GREAT TOPIC AND DISCUSSION

I agree.
A person like Vickers is a waste of space if he can't run and catch.
You have only 5 position if you don't count QB who can actually touch the ball in a designed play and can move it forward for a positive gain.
If I have 2 backs in the backfield, I don't want one to be a blocking specialist.
SCREW that.
