An hour and 10 minute practice
 
Will be anxiously waiting to see if Parker practices, and if Brown gets off the list from his "illness".

Honest question - can Boutte play the X? I know he's not big, but who else is best suited if Parker is out?
I know everyone sees Bourne as a Z - primary role. But, wondering if he is next best option to play X if needed.
Although Boutte is faster.

Christ, they were ALL listed with "limited" designations, which means they are LIKELY to play. Give it a rest already.. IF that designation changes today THEN it becomes a cause for concern.

Saw that too thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

D Douglas is small but it seems can line up anywhere and do anything.

Boutte is 6' and almost 200lbs. Why do you think that is considered "not big"? It's not 6'3-215, but it's not 5'8-185 either.

Every receiver is supposed to learn the X, Y, and Z. Maybe B'OB has them only focused on ONE right now, but I doubt it.

Right now, Boutte is behind Parker, JJSS, Bourne and Douglas. If he's even dressed for the game, it will be a bonus.
 
Am I the only one who thinks it will be a relief when Parker is no longer on the team?

He hasn’t exactly been plug and play.
The knock on Parker is injury prone. He's shown that at his apex he was a 1,200 yard WR. But he just can't stay healthy. He's a great sideline catch WR.. he's the only guy over 6ft on the 53 I believe with size at WR. He's serviceable. But you're right on points. I think KB is our best WR IMO.
