That leaves 9 WR's fighting for the final two spots.

Da’Ron Brown, Seantavius Jones, Rod Streater, Albert Wilson, De’Anthony Thomas, Mike Williams, Mitch Mathews, Frankie Hammond and Kashif Moore.

Camp and preseason will be especially important for those players.

I don't see any way they keep Thomas on the active roster after last year. Hammond is probably out, with Matthews, brown and moore to the ps.

The final two spots, at least at this point in time, probably come down to Wilson, Streater, Williams and Brown.

I can see Matthews on the PS and maybe Brown, if he doesn't make the 53 this year.

With williams missing as much time as he has, he's got an uphill battle.

You are most definitely correct but with as much uphill as he has his talent is that elite to overcome it IF his head is in the right place.

There's no doubt wilson isn't a number 1 guy. I don't think he's an outside guy to be honest either. But having him in the slot is something his abilities have shown he should be able to do well.

**Bowser** · 07-24-2016, 01:27 PM

I've said this before -

Alex in shotgun with Ware and Charles next to him. Streater and Kelce split wide with Maclin in the slot.

**Easy 6** · 07-24-2016, 01:33 PM

That does sound pretty sweet, Bowser

Thunder and Lightning backfield

Kelce mismatching on a corner

Streeter on the other side

And a consummate route runner in the slot

I'd run that combo and formation out on second and three or shorter. The defense would have literally no idea what they are about to do, and everyone I listed could be a threat to get the ball. If someone gets double teamed (Maclin or Kelce), one of the others are more than capable of gashing open a defense (giving Streater the benefit of the doubt here, of course). Play the run, get burned in the passing game. Drop back and play Cover2, get gashed by Ware or Charles. Hell, you can wheel route or screen it to Charles there, too.

So. Many. Options.

Sub Streeter, move Maclin back out, sub West in for JC and put JC back in the Pistol-back formation. Have our 5 best offensive players on the field.

Oh I like that.

Also like Charles and Hill in the backfield split out the flat on each side, Maclin and Conley out wide and Kelce in the slot.

That's a money play for Kelce. Charles and Hill pulling the ILB's to the side=open in the middle

Meh. There is not a defense in the league that is scared with Streater and Kelce split wide.

You're basically begging the D to defend nothing but short routes.

Maclin needs to be outside in this offense more often than not so there is at least the threat of a deep pass.

Maclin is a terror in the slot, and he would kill in that setup. You're right, they would look to defend the short zones. That's when you would have Maclin run a streak down the seam and have Charles wheel out down the numbers to Maclin's side with Kelce out in front blocking the corner.

Or just say piss on all of that and have Ware or Charles run the draw, especially on short to-go situations.

The thing Clay is getting at is that none of this is going to matter if we don't stretch the field, and he's right. Andy HAS to open it up even more than he did the last ten games last year. It's essential that we get the defense playing honest across the board and not waiting on Alex's patented dump off or screen.

Hence Hill's 4.24 speed.

Here's hoping Hill can be what they were hoping Dex and DAT were going to be...

And RUNKC was right...switch out Hill with anyone in that lineup minus Maclin and Charles., and you've got a big play waiting to happen (either way, really).
