[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 723523, member: 4572"] Well, there aren’t very many slot type WRs out there who can make possessive plays across the middle of the field or while being challenged. Julian Edelman is an example of a guy who [I]can [/I]do that, and he’s considered one of the best receivers in the NFL. AB is more like Taylor Gabriel that the Falcons has during their Super Bowl run. Very quick, and excels in the open field, but won’t be able to challenge DBs or LBs when he is actually covered. Those guys excel in getting over the top of safeties and getting lost in the flats. There aren’t many situations where a 7-15yd pass to AB would make sense. It helps a guy like that a ton when there are other elite receivers around you for you to get lost in coverage. Again, Gabriel had Julio and Sanu (2 top tier WRs) and a very good TE in Austin Hooper to take pressure off of him, which allowed to get lost in coverage. AB didn’t have that advantage last year. We’ll see how having a fuller group of receivers around him this year helps, and while his TD numbers might be down from last year, I’d expect his yards to go up a ton. [/QUOTE]
