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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
