[The Real Deal]

If he's definitely going to win the #2 gig though, it'd be nice to get as many preseason snaps as possible.

Also, if Boyd is only playing slot even with LaFell out, then it's a safe bet that he won't be starting outside anytime soon.

I think it's definitely lafells  job for now but Boyd did play some outside as the game went on. The 40 yd reception he had was as the outside receiver, so he is capable. But I'm like you, I want to see lafell  earn the job as I don't think it should just be handed to him. Cody core played really well on the outside too. I honestly think this team is going to be just fine at WR. Time will tell but the eye test tells me that the young WR's just seem to get it.
