Chiefs Flanagan:McCluster could be Andy Reid’s secret weapon

Whether you like McCluster or not, the best use of him is to move him around. Turn him into a guy who can motion into different spots on the field. From there, if you're sending him out as a receiver, you HAVE to open up the underneath routes and that doesn't happen if teams are crowding the line.

When you get him in space, they've got to coach him to stop dancing and spinning around. His best move is his ability to change direction on a dime and once he has a lane he can accelerate very quickly. But let's face it, while he's a tough kid, he falls down with the flick of a pinky.

I think he's a better player than his critics make him to be, but he's not a secret weapon others suggest he is. He's a guy who when used right can give your team a few interesting looks and get you a few home runs here and there.
