Smitty's broken arm has been a blessing in disguise...

we need someone who is a big downfield blocker who can also make the big catch.

now....if we do move kenny into the X position then we could move smith into the slot where he'd rather be. if we are going to have a lot of 3 receiver sets anyway (which it sounds like is going to be the case) then this would make sense.

my question is still....does kenny have the jets to be that downfield threat?

Not sure, but to his credit. He has burned everyone lined up against him in camp. Gamble and Marshall were both burned by him.

4. Gosh, Kenny Moore just keeps pouring it on. Moore beat Richard Marshall deep for a touchdown during one-on-one drills. A little while later he caught a ball downfield and did a spin move leaving Marshall in the dust again. Moore has been impressive.

9. We’ve been riding Dwayne Jarrett pretty good, but he did do a little better in practice today making a few nice catches. Still, I think he’s being out performed by Moore and Brandon LaFell. As coach John Fox said of LaFell, “He definitely fits.”

I really dont think he has the burst needed to be a down field threat. He is no more then a slot WR if you ask me.

Kenny Moore was far and away the best receiver out there today. Not even close.

I think really he should be. Besides Jarrett everyone is a Rookie. I dont expect Rookies to come out blazing not even 1st round picks. Playing WR in the NFL is very hard but they should be caching up by end of camp. If not then I will be worried.

I think you could see K. Colberts rookie year type of production from Kenny, just a little more explosive. I don't think he has the same raw speed that Smith has. I think you could maybe put Lafell and Moore outside on 3 WR sets and then let Smitty go in the slot.

If Edwards can catch up thats when Smith will be dangerous in the Slot. Edwards is the only one that has the raw speed to take coverage away from Smith Deep.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
