Which receivers make this team?
-
Mayle is a PS candidate.
-
I would not try to stash Lenz anywhere past 2nd team. He'd be snatched off the PS by any team who saw the scrimmage yesterday. Mayle? Yep, PS unless he lights it up in preseason games. Pryor too big and fast not to be out there opening up the passing game by stretching the field for the Lilliputians to get open underneath.

at this point....it's anyones game......I do believe....
Great when it's hard to figure your starting lineup because they all look good....instead of them all looking bad and waiting for a riser....
Mayles road is getting longer and longer.... Im starting to think PS or bump the thumb.....

I welcome this kind of problem all day long. Fun stuff. Lenz is very impressive.
If I had to take a stab at who stays - I'm guessing we keep these guys:
Bowe
Hartline
Hawkins
Gabriel
Pryor
Benjamin
Practice Squad: Lenz or Mayle
This is subject to change in 1-3 weeks.

i thought mayle was playing with an injury?
mayle is a candidate to stay just because of his size AND he actually did play the position in college.
i thought if there was an award for outstanding job last nite as a wr it would have definitely gone to lenz.

Lenz just reminds me of those fleas that Brady always has on his roster. Can get open with his quickness and turn up the speed after the catch. They get very annoying to other teams' defenses.

We have two of those. They're just not white.

Interesting, about Lenz ! Don't be surprised if he makes the active roster ! (didn't know he was
listed at 6'1"

One thing to watch with Lenz is injuries. With Bears and Colts he was active till injury, rehabbed then got stuck on practice squads. But we don't have Colts or Bears WR's depth chart at the time Lenz was there. Time for this kid to play a full season, he has talent to help this team. I love annoying nats driving CB's nuts than burn them deep..

Exactly. I like Lenz, but he's have to be taking a roster spot from Hawk or Gabriel rather than Mayle or Pryor... and I dont see that happening.

Lenz was given a new uni # today....bumped from 7 to 17.....
doubt that it means anything.....but kinda odd, eh?....
-
Well.....Wr is really unfolding as a wide open competition....and a very difficult set of decisions for the staff....
looks like Benji has really stepped up so far....kudos to you guys who stood with him, as I had him outta here...
Hartline also has really shown up the past week or 2 and has totally convinced me he isnt the next Nate Burleson....but maybe the next Joe Jurevicius instead....
We have several UDFA/FA signings who are making waves.....Lenz, Jennings and Wynn have all flashed....
While a couple guys we were counting on(Housler, Bowe and Mayle) have struggled with drops(and injury)....
Pryor?.....a sensational week, yes....but he needs to get back on the field.......soon.....
And Marlon Moore.....showed why weve kept him to this point.....forced fumble on ST......too good to let go?

Still early... time to sort things out, but you can see the battles taking shape.
I think these three are solid: Bowe, Hartline, Pryor
I think these four have the inside track: Benji, Gabe, Hawk, Mayle...
... but there likely aren't 4 more spots.
Oddly I ended up with more questions on Benji after last nite's game...
Like I wrote in my game review I think he has made himself into a good WR and now runs underneath stuff well, but I do not understand why underneath success has not fed his deep routes. Too much respect for his deep speed? Or does he tip his deep routes?
Plus there are still lingering 50/50 ball questions...
I think Jennings complicated things last nite. Couple nice receptions with a kick off return cherry on top. Loved his patience setting up Johnson's key block. His problem is he is too Gabe-like... except he's a step slower... maybe a half-step... He may be my top PS candidate from the WR position.
I want to see Wynn return a punt, but he's another Gabe/Jennings size-wise.
Hawk and Lenz seem to be vying for the same possession-WR spot. Experience vs. youth???
I'd lose no sleep cutting Moore.

Wait ... are you insinuating that Hawk's job is on the line?
No.
No, no, no.
Farmer went out and got him last year, and if anything, he exceeded expectations. Guy is a fixture in our offense.
Pryor is on solid ground but Hawk only has an inside track?
You didn't think you were going to slip that past us did you?
