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 :(

      Eh idk about this. He’s a 100 point player in the toughest market in hockey. Not to mention, guys seem to play more freely once they leave Toronto. I’d be willing to bet that Marner could unlock Svechnikov. I’d go hard after both Marner and Bennett in the offseason.

      I’m not going to sit here and say he played “amazing” in this game against the Eagles, but you’re selling this performance short. Stats do not tell the whole story here.  If Leggette doesn’t drop that late 32 yard pass, Bryce ends up with 223 yards and 2TDs and doesn’t end up with 2 additional incompletions after that drop trying to force things to the end zone at the end of the game. So that’s be 20-32 instead of 19-34, good for a 62.5% completion percentage. His YOA would be 6.96 and his QB rating would have been 91.2. And the story everyone is talking about after the game is how Bryce led a game winning drive to beat one of the best teams in the league, the team we did not know at the time would become Super Bowl champions.  But none of that happened all because of an awful drop by Leggette, something totally out of Bryce’s control. Bryce played well that game.
