I was thinking the term "receiver" was way too generous and was thinking of calling them route runners, but "wideouts" isnt bad. Maybe "dropouts" is even better.

It's hard to learn how to catch when no one throws you the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobdF Posted October 17, 2005 Group: Member Topic Count: 1 Content Count: 80 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/11/2002 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Shoop, I looked at the game stats and 10 wideouts played (not counting RBs and TEs). Only 5 wideouts had catches. Hall with 7 catches (out of 18 completions) was the leading receiver. Seems to me that you are on to something.Surely out of 10 guys, someone can catch consistently. I think the wideouts need enough game reps to be comfortable and "in rhythm" with the QB. If we are constantly rotating, how comfortable can they be?Maybe we should play fewer wideouts. Then perhaps some will become "wide receivers." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
