The Slot is Dead

but he could only play in the Slot with his lack of speed and he was dropping balls last year and even one that could of put us into the Playoffs.

No way his best days are ahead of him.

Both Burton and Charlie Jones have great hands from history just the same as Boyd before he started dropping balls. We will see.

Versatility is a great thing to have and to be able to use more motions and different looks should only help the team instead of having one player
locked into the Slot and the others locked into the outside. More to think about now. Live in the past if you want, Burton falling to the 3rd was a 
bit of a surprise to most and only because of his poor character after a big game in college.

I think Jermaine Burton could be a #1 in the NFL with his talent, I could never say that about Tyler Boyd.

I guess now you could call it Boyd slander lmao!!!


It was more than a few snaps pretty sure, but yeah, the big plays out of the Slot for Chase stood out big time as they should.

Ja'Marr Chase is an absolute mismatch in the Slot against Slot Corners and Linebackers. They don't stand a chance with his quicks, speed, 
strength, balance etc.

52 snaps wide
11 snaps slot
1 snap backfield

"don't stand a chance" is a bit hyperbolic. I know it's still the offseason and everyone gets worked up about potential, but the other guys are pros too and get paid a lot of money to stop the offense. I'm just over the hyping up and then falling short of SBs at this point. 

Things like "what if", "lets hope". That stuff is all bullshit. I'm looking forward to the start of the season and the potential, just keeping it a little more real.
