“You can get some matchups sometimes,” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. “You hear defenses when there’s a three-receiver set, they’re calling out, ‘Hey, they’ve got speed at three.’ Because in certain coverages, split-safety coverages, some teams are asking that (middle linebacker) to carry (the No. 3 receiver) vertical.”

 

That’s where Smith-Marsette might be able to do some damage. You know what they say about speed.

“He’s able to stretch the defenses (and) put that vertical push on defenders to get them scared of his speed,” Osborn said. “He’s just a really dangerous weapon for us to have on offense.”

That’s not the only thing Osborn has noticed about Smith-Marsette.

“His route-running has got a lot better,” Osborn said. “He’s worked on that, and we can see it out here. He looks good.”

Asked about his growth since last season, Smith-Marsette credited fellow receivers Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. He said he’s been trying to be a sponge as much as possible. It appears to be paying off.

Fingers crossed the lad can seperate we need some quick twitch receivers

Glad to see this, it tells me he wouldn’t have made it to us on the waiver wirr. We need speed and explosiveness at the position and the return game.  Who gets cut, Shi Smith?

That's definitely it for Shi Smith, I thought he was getting cut before this trade. I now expect him to get cut.

So we are either going to carry 7 WRs, put one of our WRs on pup or IR, or he is taking that last 6th WR spot.

I mean our WRs kind of suck, I wouldn't sweat the bottom of that particular part of the roster. 

Also did I see that right? A swapping of 7th rounders? Very presumptuous to assume they'll finish with a better record than us now that we have our Short King.

I honestly think this could mean we might be looking fir a replacement to Blackshear as well.  I thought I liked what I saw from him last season in limited action, but he did not impress me much this preseason.

n...Why is Chinn listed as a CB in Madden???

So far throughout TC and preseason he's played the NB or slot CB position. I haven't seen him lined up at S or LB yet

What did my dumbass do? I haven't had my second cup of coffee this morning so I'm operating at a level that I shouldn't be attempting any form of communication yet.

Yeah, but as a nickel he essentially is more an extra LB or S versus a legit corner.

The 7th we sent was Arizona's so I think they're safe on that swap

I see the input of Thielen in this trade.  You’ve got to assume that Reich and Fitt spoke to Thielen to get his personal assessment before making the trade.

I'd rather they upgraded Hubbard.

I fear we're wasting his career.
