Barnidge / Rosario out wide?

Yes, I am bringing this up again.

I don't believe as an offensive coordinator, you let such talent go to waste on the bench because of the letters beside the players names. We saw Jeff King out wide last week, mainly to motion in and block on running plays.

So why not Barnidge and/or Rosario out wide?

I asked them about it at lunch this week. They both kind of gave me that look like they would like to really comment but couldn't. Rosario only said that "we know all the plays" in half agreement with me.

I just want to see it once. Moore under center with Williams as a single back. Smitty out to the right wide, King on the line, Rosario in the left slot, Barnidge out on the left wide. Great pass catching talent out there, but if you need to audible a run you have 3 TE's out there blocking for you. Those two guys are massive. I am 6'2 200lbs and felt like a third grader standing next to them. I can imagine how a 5'10 180 CB would feel. lol

Maybe I will draw it up on a napkin and send it up to the booth Sunday.

Surely if they were in the slot they wouldn't have CBs facing them? With all three TEs on the field the opposing defence is not going play mutiple CDs, at best one would get a favourable match up. The other two would have LBs on them.

Regardless I am still unconvinced they would be any better than our possession WRs.

We've seen that Rosario has the skills to be a go-to reciever..SD game '08...and if Barnidge had a signature play it would be the long pass down the sideline, he's run it down at times and caught the ball deep other times. He is as much of a vertical threat as any of our non-Smitty recievers, plus he has a distinct height and hands advantage over most DBs. Rosario in the slot...King blocking

3 TEs...it sounds almost crazy enough to work...esp in the red zone because of the check-down-to-run option it gives with bigger blockers on the outside...

in any case...if it seem like a good idea, Fox probably won't do it.

Damn, I was kind of hoping maybe the team is trying to keep something up their sleeves with them playing out wide, but that does not sound like the case :(

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
