While i think he makes the team, Pop is not a lock.....a guy like Chism could very well make him expendable if he doesn't have a good camp

There is a lot to be said for being where the QB expects you to be.

Chism alone wouldn't make Pop expandable. It would take several players to beat him out and off the roster.

Also Pop has had 2 seasons each better than the one before and now has stability at coaching and QB no reason he shouldn't step up his game too.

TDs were up, yards per reception down, slight increase in rec/total yards.......cant say he ran better routes or showed any growth in knowing the offense; maybe he does better with the new staff, maybe he gets passed by someone who actually knows the position- very much prove it time for Pop

Pop best be looking over his shoulder at Chism.....

I don't know about that.. chism has to learn the plabook and get on first team offense to even have a chance... first.

Exactly! Pop was saying Josh told him to be ready to see alot of targets.. I remember Wes Welker years ago saying something similarly.. he only had 126 catches that season.. that's all.

If Josh told him that, Josh sees something. And one thing McDaniels knows very well is a slot receiver.

 

[SlowGettingUp]

All the receivers, including Pop, will benefit from Diggs when he starts to play and attracts their top corner. Plus Maye will have more time.

@signbabybrady

I'm expecting a nice offense. Let me know if you find any footballs in your back yard. Lmao.

I like Chism's potential but Pop is one of the top 3 wrs, obviously along with Diggs and Williams.
He should end up as the #3. I dont see anyone on the roster supplanting him.
He won't get anywhere near as many snaps as Diggs and Williams by the end of the season for a lot of obvious reasons. So there'll be many opportunities for others, like Hollins and Chism, to get some run.
Diggs is also excellent in the slot but he's needed outside with Williams.
One of the bums like Polk would have to have an amazing transmorgification to get many outside snaps.

Williams roster spot is safe but he still needs to earn his Reps. I wouldn't just hand him WR2.

Efton Chism III is a great name.

I use the expression "**** ton" all the time at work to describe big deals ("we're going to sell a **** ton of product!"). His first name is a more polite way to say that.

Does Efton know that?

Imagine the marketing opportunities for him if becomes a player.

I would definitely pay him to attend a sales meeting and motivate the gang to sell f-tons!

No but I am the president.

I see diggs, pop, Williams will likely be the primary targets, with other guys sprinkling in. Also don't forget we have a great RB room with Henderson, rham and gibby.. the presence of diggs creates lanes for the backs. We also have 3 OL in Campbell, ownenu and Moses who are bulldozers in the run game. The pass catching back will be heavily involved in the offense.

Agreed. From everything I've seen on him from the time he's been drafted the kids been deep in the playbook, doing everything he's asked of. I feel good about Williams.
