    -Because need to keep 6 DBs over keeping 6 WRs

    -Because Janis can play both sides on special teams and Abby can only return kicks, they aren't going to keep a 6th WR just for depth if he can't contribute on special teams.

    I doubt that Abbrederis makes it out of training camp in one piece, but even if he does, Brandon has identified why he is facing a real uphill battle to make the team....limited ST potential.

    Some have said Montgomery is one of the better return guys to come out in a number of years. Janis showed real potential as a return man, albeit in preseason. Each has the size to play on coverage units. Abbrederis might be (not "is") behind each as a return man and I doubt has any potential on coverage units. He will have to be head and shoulders above the others as a WR to make the team.

    Janis is a guy I am anxious to see.
