Chief's PS game

[THE PISTONS]

One of the biggest things is limiting turnovers.  I hope our emphasis on the running game (and subsequent play-action, RPO,  or whatever designation that leads to easy, high % completions) helps address that issue.  Also, a receiver that has such glue hands and can high-point a ball that only he can catch (see yesterday's camp video back of the end zone over Dre) should prevent the stupid bobble or tipped ball that leads to a pick.  

I look at Tate as someone that might not burn someone deep, but could be a solid, reliable target.  I am still a little puzzled why we haven't seen Boyd move to AJs spot and play more of Erickson and Tate in the slot, but I digress.  

Palmer had the very reliable Housh (as Sunset noted) that was with Chad in an awesome tandem.  The very few times they were on the field with Chris Henry (all 3 healthy), they were borderline unstoppable.  I will never forget what was probably Palmer's best game I ever witnessed against the Bears where Ced had a huge game against his former team and Palmer couldn't miss Housh, Chad, and Henry.

I look at Boyd as the Housh, but maybe that could also be Tate.  Ross has to be more consistent to become Henry, and we already have AJ as Chad.  

Tate did get 10 special teams snaps and was light years better on them than Willis, so I have to think he has the edge there.  I think the real battle is between three guys:  Malone, Core, and Morgan Jr.

Assuming they might take 7 to week one due to AJ's injury, I could see this scenario:

AJ
Boyd
Ross
Erickson
Tate
Malone 
Morgan

Released:  Core
PS:  Willis

Core, Morgan, or Willis for that last spot is a fight.
