[QUOTE="InsideLB, post: 157721, member: 857"] Great post Boomer. Seems like also different guys with certain different groupings can be successful in our offense. In our offense I think there is a place for a guy--as long as he can block--who is a burner and can stretch the field but isn't necessarily a big physical possession receiver/jump ball guy also. I mean it's awesome if you have a guy like Bebe who has most all the qualities of Boomer's list. But those guys don't grow on trees. Summers is sort of like this. We really haven't had a guy like this yet at GT because we've had bigger posession type guys. But IMO there's a place for this type of guy in the offense. By the same token there's also a place in our offense for a slower physical possession guy who can leap, as long as he's fast enough/slick enough/physical enough to fake a block and get behind a DB in single coverage--at least long enough to get the ball. As far as I can tell Messick & Jeune are more of this type receiver. Smelter was like this but Smelter had some serious explosion to him that--while not a burner--made him very dynamic. My limited intellect projects Howell and Stewart in this category as well. Jeff Greene and Darren Waller were this category but also fading into the next category: The crossover type reciever--the rare burner who is also big and physical. Philpott is kind of unique because he's a burner with a big frame so as a PROSPECT he has serious upside like Stephen Hill or Bebe who are also in this category. But like all prospects it depends on a lot of different factors as to what their ceiling ends up being in their career. Will be interesting to see how it all works out. We've have some big likely looking receivers and prospects! [/QUOTE]
