Scotty Washington - Didn't get many snaps, but showed soft hands and has a receiver background. If Wilcox (and Sample out), there are and will be plenty of snaps available for someone to step up. Moss got his shot and had an up and down night. I'd like to see Washington Get more looks.
Kwamie Lassiter II - With the emergence of Pryor, Lassiter II's shine was stolen all in a nights work. I'd like to see him get more snaps and opportunities. I think Trent Taylor, may be too hard to cut, 7 receivers is a possibility, but that would mean Thomas might go. Could Lassiter make Thomas a surprise cut?
Carson Wells - How is Bachie's knee? Wells was all over Friday night, making tfl's, pressure, and showing a good motor. Can he maintain momentum?
Tariqious Tisdale - Injured so only played 7 snaps, but showed good hustle, got some offseason love, and if he can flash our D line is stacked.
Jacques Patrick - They love Perine, I think he's OK. Thus he's someone I feel should have to fight for his job each year. Especially with the emergence of Evans, and Mixon contract. Is Perine a surprise cut? Doubt it, but it would be a move I am okay with if Patrick continues to be that short yardage, big back that can wear down a defense. Mixon and Evans can handle the receiving roll Perine brought, can they protect like Perine opening up a spot for a young power back to stick?
I'd agree with others on Perine. He had a couple of bad moments on the biggest stage. But he's also shown he can make big time plays. As far as Morgan and Thomas I guess I'll have to trust the coaches on that because I don't see it from a WR perspective more so with Thomas but they do things that I don't know the full scope of. I like Moss and wanted him to stick with the Burrow connection and who his dad is but he took 2 big plays off the board and I just don't see the receiving ability to make up for the blocking issues. I was intrigued by Washington as well.
But you have to mention Plitt with someone we need to see more of and hopefully earlier. I really think we have maybe 1 WR position open. Whether that's Lassiter or Pryor I don't care but since Pryor had the big game that's what I'll be the most curious about is if he can follow that up these next preseason games.
