Why not 7 WR's on the opening day roster?

[TommyD4207]

I think your WRs going into the season are: Brown, Doubs, Boutte, Hollins, Williams, DeGennaro.

If they're actually looking for a trade for Boutte, or there's an injury or something, maybe Douglas makes the team, but really, that's the list to me. I'd be surprised if it were something different.

C J Dippre, a blocking tight end, and Efton Chism III have a 40 yard foot race. Who wins?

Who cares?

The Playbook, the playbook, the playbook. Whomever WR who has the greatest knowledge of the playbook stays on the field other than Brown. Jules said it took him years to figure it out. We need synchronization not Willie Nilly. Drake is improving and does not need dead wood in the reciever room. Boutte's in for me. I'm most worried about my bottom 4. Doubs, Williams, Pop and Hollins. Chism is special teams. Need a slot receiver with 10 catches per game avg. Still would bring Diggs back and he'd be our best slot receiver right now!

You are definitely going out on thin limb with DeGennaro.
I know he’s your boy and you’re pulling for him, but it would a huge surprise if he made the team over Pop and Chism, especially Pop.

I think it's between him and Douglas. Chism is dead-man walking. Douglas is still getting the reps, we'll see how long that continues for - camp is young. Maybe they try to hide DeGennaro on the PS, and start the season with Douglas as the 6th guy. Impossible to say before they've even played in relative anger yet - but, while I get Chism is a binky to many, he's too slow to play in the NFL consistently. I'm not questioning his 'heart' or whatever, but he's so demonstrably slow.

He's already here. And he doesn't run like he's in cement.

I'm a lot more impressed by NFL film than college... that being the proof that Nick DeGennaro is a must-keep is just peculiar to me. Seriously, you're penciling him in, in a crowded field? Did I miss the spectacular camp he's having? What's a Nick DeGennaro? Why?

Well, he actually has to play in the NFL to have NFL film.

They haven't even played a game yet - you'll see what I'm talking about when he gets the opportunity, at least I think so. He's a classic Edelman/Brown-type slot.

Also, apparently there are a lot of people here much higher on Efton Chism than I am.

Nice WR pass trick play. Always fun to have a guy who can throw an extra wrinkle like Edeldude as ex-QB.

I’m not high on Chism per se.
He is woefully slow returning punts 100%.
I thought be looked better / faster running routes last year than returning kicks.
I know nothing about your guy other than few mentions at camp, and reading his scouting report.
He seems to have legit long speed and down the field capability from what I read and what he’s demonstrated thus far.
Most certainly not rooting against him, but it would be quite a development if the team chose him over Pop.
May the best man win.

Will anybody remember it’s a race by the time they finish?
