Im glad Pryor has a nice camp, but we can go back to many of these WRs playing against 2 to 4th strings and had solid camps that never amounted to much so im not going overhype the guy.. maybe he make it maybe he does not but in the end his position will not mean much for the success of this team.

But it is much easier for an "outside" WR to line up in the slot than the other way around.

I'm guessing he got picked up or signed elsewhere. Kinda sucks.

FYI on the X,Y,Z conversation. According to Jim Miller, Y is always the TE, never a WR.

“In those plays that we saw of Lassiter, they were kind of extended. [Jake] Browning broke the pocket and Lassiter found the soft spot over the middle of the field. That is something that Burrow does pretty well. He likes to extend plays and keep his eyes down the field. Lassiter gives importance to looking for the openings on the field after he finishes his routes. [He asks himself] ‘Where is my quarterback? How can I work back to him?’ So maybe that’s an area in which Lassiter has an advantage over Pryor.”

Sucks that Pryor got claimed, but I'm really glad Lassiter is back.

He got signed and has stayed on a 53 man roster. That’s an accomplishment all in itself. Albeit he’s at the bottom of a worse WR room and hasn’t gotten any playing time (I assume?).

Quote:"We need Pryor on the roster" threads stem from Bengals fans needing something to post about during a slow point in the offseason. Next year, we'll have another Pryor that many insist needs to be on the roster. The guy will get cut, we'll rage, and then he'll go on to not have a stellar NFL career. Rinse and repeat.
