Cotchery's Situation

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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
