Cotchery's Situation


davos

Recommended Posts

So I'm already starting to see a lot of depth chart speculation and there's some mixed opinion on Jerricho and thought this would generate some conversation. 

 

 

Now last season, Avant began it as the shiftier 3rd option for us outside of Cotchery and Benjamin.  We had guys banged up early, then Phill and Bersin looked respectable early.  Brown had a 7-66 game week 3.   We cut Avant after it looked like Philly provided adequate support in this department/and/or for other reasons.  The WR structure from there on out was Benjamin-Cotchery with Brown.  Bersin was the 4th option.  So my question is how do things roll out for Jerricho?

 

The given:

 

WR1-2

Benjamin

Funchess

 

Slot/3

Ginn/Brown?

 

4-6 Competition

Cotchery/Boykin/Hill/Bersin

 

PS

Byrd/Presley/etc.

So..how are you reading this receiving corps?  Is he worth keeping or would you have it so we could see what we get out of Boykin/Hill? Or is this something we kinda figure out in preseason?

He may be kept as a veteran presence but I don't anticipate him getting much playing time at all. Won't be higher than 4 on the current depth chart. Wouldn't be surprised if he's cut though. Just have to wait and see.

We are keeping 6 WRs max. The Vin Towers start. Keeping Ginn and Brown to run go routes. Boykin plays Special Teams, so he stays. Last spot is between Hill and Cotchery. If Hill has improved, he's the guy. Sorry Jerricho, it's not your spot to win, it's Hill's to lose.

Considering that Hill couldn't even crack the 53 with the WR corp that Carolina had last year, I'd say it's nowhere near his job to lose.

It probably is. The #6 WR usually doesn't dress on gameday anyway, that's why I lean toward Hill right now. It may very well shake out differently in camp, but until then, that's how I see it. Keep Hill to either suit up or keep working on things. More upside with him than Cotch.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
