Second hand "Hot Takes" from someone whose only information comes from the clips on these threads, so you KNOW I know what I'm talking about and take my takes as facts.
Pretty much everyone BUT Boutte made some memorable play this morning and he's the guy who has been making the most "memorable plays" the other 13 days of camp. So, with the top 7 fighting it out for 6 positions and 3 good UDFA's prospects fighting for probably 2 PS positions, I'd say our WR situation for this season looks pretty good. Dare I say the WR room is the best position group we have. How many times over the last 26 years could we have said that.
Prounty - (I almost laugh every time I say that name out loud) continues to be my biggest and happiest surprise this season. Even when he loses, he rarely is uncompetitive and looks like a steal in the late 5th, instead of someone we over drafted.
The lack of run game success could be viewed as a possible issue, especially since we all considered it a potential strength of the team before camp is understandable. But you really can only practice and see where you are in the run game during the actual preseason games, where you don't play your starters or rarely play them. Hard to simulate cut back lanes and blocking angles when you aren't going fully live in practice, even the joint practices don't give you a good simulation of the run game, The only way, these days, is through live game action. So the first time we will really get a chance to see where our run game is, will be Thursday, when none of the starters will be playing. Ahhh! the frustrations of the modern pre season. The reality is that the first chance we will have to know where our run game is at will be against the Seahawks.
The fact is, September and the first 3 or 4 games have become an enhanced preseason and although we will make instant impressions all through that month, none of them will matter until October anyway. So, if we start out 3-0 or 0-3 we won't get a true vision of our team until game 4 when all the rust is removed and teams show us who they really are
