According to Joe Person's first depth chart, he has the pecking order at...

WR1: Funchess,  Moore

WR2: Smith,  Samuel

Slot: Moore,  Wright

 

I don't know about you guys, but I see this as a problem.  Yes, initially we see Moore as the slot guy, even though we just signed Jarius Wright.  Personally, I think his talent and rookie lack of film will be wasted if we relegate him to slot guy.  I personally think we should give him a crack at starting at 1 or 2, and have Torrey used for certain deep threat plays.  I know Camp and post June 1st cuts are still to come, but right now I am worried Funchess might get in the way of some of our talent at the position, similar to Kelvin.  

Thoughts?

Samuel needs snaps

 

he can be a stud.  needs experience 

Agreed. He needs to be 100% healthy first. With seeing the rest of our depth chart there is absolutely no reason to rush him back. He's not make or breaking our first few games. I personally wouldn't be opposed to starting him on the PUP list if he ankle isn't 100%. Moore, Byrd, and Smith can all probably play his role while he gets back up to speed.

Agreed. There is enough talent to let him stay off the field and recuperate.

As much as I have heard how old and slow Torrey Smith is...he's only been in the league half as long as Peppers.  Either we need a new definition of "old" or Peppers is just a complete freak of nature. I'm optimistic that Torrey Smith will help this team out more than people know or realize.  Wait and see I guess....and yes, Pep is a freak of nature.

As long as Moore is on the field for a vast majority of offensive snaps , I'm not sure that I care which exact position hes starting at in game 1.

People get stuck on WR depth charts but you have to remember how huge of a part of the receiving game that Greg and CMC are. If Samuel stays healthy it maybe WR by committee with the exeption of Funchess because hes out tallest WR.

Long term.. this is what I want our recieving corps to look like

 

Funch

Moore

Samuel

Thomas

CMC

 

 

 

BAM wright and smith are stop gaps..  if our young guys are ready i want these old guys gone and out. The future is what I listed above

 

I think Funch, Moore, and Samuel can eventually be used interchangeably.. role to role.. play by play

 

allows for some serious mismatch awesomeness and flexibility

Those 2 are so heavily used because our wide outs suck.

Smith is only 29, I don't know where this ''old'' label has come from, GInn was lighting it up for us here at 30+ and most of you all wanted Gettleman to retain his service as he was staring age 32 in the face. 

A lot of you guys need to accept the fact that for the first time since the 2012 season most recently, we have a nice group of receivers as well as reason to be optimistic about TE.. 

2012 - Smith / LaFell / Ginn / Hixon -- Shockey / Olsen

2013 (Never Forget) - Benjamin / Cotchery / Avant / Brown -- Olsen / Dckson

Current - Moore / Funchess / Smith / Samuel / Wright / Byrd -- Olsen / Thomas

We have come a good ways, since that 2012 season, this is a very talented / niche group of receivers, Funchess has #1 potential, we all saw it up to the shoulder injury, and even still he played very well. Moore also possesses #1 potential and I look forward to his development, Smith is a PROVEN NFL deep threat as we continue to work Samuel / Byrd in to that role; meanwhile Wright is a 3rd down answer similar to Cotchery except he actually has mid 4.4 speed to pair with that ability as well.

These guys rotate in and out and play all over the place.  Guys get hurt all the time.  Funchess and Smith will play 1 and 2.  Moore will play 1 and 2 and slot.  Samuel will play slot and some 2.  Wright will play mostly slot.  CMC will play some slot.  Byrd, assuming he makes the team, will play mostly outside.  

I think depth charts for WRs are silly.  Especially by Joe Person in May.

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
