Chances Bersin could be our number 2 at WR

We are all in agreement that Cotchery and Avant are pretty much possession receivers.  Yet as I said a many a time before, I always like my second option at receiver to be able to take over a game if need be.  We had the luxury of both Moose and Smitty playing for us for a short time.  Bersin made some great catches this past Sunday, and he's shown the ability to get some YAC.  Not only that, but he has the strength to break tackles.  Do yall think he has what it takes to make a run at 2?

 

I'd like to see how he does against starting DB's before I make any decisions about him. There's nothing wrong with possession WR's, they're the ones who move the chains.

Rivera wants to give Underwood, other young WRs more reps Firday.

 

 

 

Hopefully that pushes Bersin into getting some time in the first quarter, and the other guys play the second half.  I also would like to see some more of King by the way.

Yeah there's nothing wrong with possession WRs, it's just my football belief that my number 2 guy can get you at least 4-5 breakaway games a year.

Exactly. Muhsin Muhammed made a very good living being a physical, possession receiver.

Bersin *is* a possession receiver, he's not a burner (4.6 forty) but he has good hands and a large frame (6-3/210). He is also a good blocker. Bersin will be thrilled if he makes the 53 man roster. His first two seasons he wasn't able to do that.

When the live rounds start flying I'm sorry I don't want to say Bersin is my #2 WR! He's got solid hands, solid size, and can run solid routes but in today's NFL, ecspecially in the NFC, I'm not putting that much faith in an UDFA from Wofford who didn't make the 53 last year! Don't get me wrong I love Bersin and want him to make the roster as the 4th or 5th WR, come in on certain situations and spell guys. However to put him at #2 at this point in his career is simply ludicrous, ecspecially considering the caliber of some other #2 WRs in this league! I like the kid but no thanks!

I consider possession receivers to be guys that mostly catch the ball and that's it.  Bersin may not be a burner but from what I can see, he has ability to do some things after the catch and he can make the difficult catches.  I hope he gets some looks against Revis.

 

So far he's looked good against lesser talent.  I want to see what he got against starters, especially one of the best in Revis.

Id like to state if not for the contract, cotchery so far has been a minor disappontment. Bersin is your average trihard white WR, panthers are gaining a return in their investment. Funny I thought avant had a 50/50 chance at making the team before TC, now he looks like the #2 guy. Cam just needs reps with the whole group, then role would be better define too.

    • That makes me wonder, how many starting tackles in the NFL and/or elite tackles have short arms? I feel like there’s probably lots of tackles that end up being drafted in later rounds because they had short arms or didn’t have the physical tools.     also why not draft a tackle in the later rounds that we could move to guard or center if they fail, instead of drafting a center? If we draft a center we know they aren’t going to play tackle but if you draft a tackle they could end up playing any of the 3 positions, look at BC for example. It feels like it’s a better decision to draft a tackle in later rounds than a center.
    • Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game
    • I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.
