He and Aiken are the biggest and strongest WRs, to block a safety in the running game. While Moss is technically big and he does block, it's not why he's on the team.Please elaborate if you have a chance.
Now that CJ is gone, it seems Kelley Washington will see some more time as a WR. People forget that he is very talented as a WR and is as skilled as CJ and more consistent.
What do you all think about KW getting more time as the 3rd/4th WR?
It was obvious he was going to get more time as a WR in the final 2 preseason games, where he ran as the #3 WR with Welker out. He will be the #4 when we are at full strength and will be considered a receiver this year instead of a special teamer (not to say he won't still be a big ST contributor, of course).
We are absolutely fine with Washington and Aiken as our #4 and #5 WR's.
I don't understand the Aiken love affair. He hasn't played a second of receiver in the Patriots system. He has 19 career receptions. Washington's career stats aren't gaudy or anything, but at least he has played legitimate WR snaps in the NFL. I doubt Aiken sees a single snap at WR all year. Ventrone and Jones will get reps ahead of him.
