Re: Pass Receiving Seperation & the Lack of It
I agree the Jordan signing is about depth - not dissatisfaction with Maroney.
His overall take about separation is a good one - and while he might be a CJ basher his observations aren't exactly in conflict with what I've observed.
We know CJ has speed - yet somehow I've just yet to see him gain separation. In the past my assumption was that he was still slowed by the hamstring. Overal it doesn't matter what it is anymore - he just needs to make it happen.
Not that Jackson is a one trick pony who is meant to only go deep - but if he can't get free deep, what does he add that Gaffney doesn't?
Clearly a CJ basher with a lot of declarative statements to the point of suggesting he has no shot to ever be good in the NFL, and I think Maroney is likely to catch more than 20 passes this year. He may round off his cuts, and Jordan/Faulk are clearly superior to LoMar in terms of pass-catching, but what I saw of him as a RECEIVER last year was a WEAPON, and I hope to see them take advantage of that even more this season.
