It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Since you struck out on that one totally...I think Washington will be fine on ST and may get into the rotation. Am surprised we have not heard a Washington is made out of glass thread...Washington,Adams,Jefferson,What do they all have in common?----NONE of them played a single SNAP on the NE Patriots offense last season.
I guess I should have stated that , He would be a solid number 2 or 3 WR.. But hopefull not at that loss of Gaffney and Moss.. Which I hope does not happen..
I wouldn't limit his upside as a #2 or #3 WR, he was a solid prospect coming out and looked reasonably athletic in the preseason. Now that he (has to) know the offense, I would expect he could put up Gaffney type numbers if called upon.
Washington,Adams,Jefferson,What do they all have in common?----NONE of them played a single SNAP on the NE Patriots offense last season. You gotta play ONE before you can play more,lol. I heard a great quote today by Schlereth on NFL LIVE---"POTENTIAL CAN GET YOU FIRED IN THIS LEAGUE".
Now he did play reciever in college and was drafted by the Bungals as one....but he hasnt played one(no matter what hotel he stays in)on the field in more than 2 years. Dont get me wrong, I really liked his size and speed coming out of college. He just never worked hard enough to put it together. He has been collecting paychecks to do just that but he was a 4th string reciever with the Bungals and Moss,Brown,Gaffney,Welker,Stallworth and Jackson all had catches for the pats this year. That means he is BEHIND Brown and Gaffney(another scrappile guy)on the depth chart here....7th!!
This year we are all hoping Jackson emerges. Stallworth and Brown might not be back. There is a good chance we pick up another reciever either in the draft or FA so he will be back to figure 5th guy.....But unless 2-3 of our guys are injured he still wont see the field except for some preseason and in practice. I would like to see him in on a HAIL MARY package because of his hieght compared to the rest of our guys. He is a natural athlete, too bad he doesnt like playing football enough to be good. But he has a job!
