How good is Cobb?

[Maxie the Taxi]

We really could use Jackie Harris on this team. Aaron Rodgers would make him a Pro Bowl candidate.

Rice was 6'2" 200. He wasn't Calvin Johnson big, but he was bigger than average.

And he came into the league 30 years ago (!!!) that was damn good size.

From the '6 degrees of separation' file, Al "the WR drafted before Rice" Toon's son, who also played for the Badgers, is with NO. Hasn't had a great start to his career.

OK, Alex, Great WRs six foot or shorter.

Who is Tim Brown?

Maybe Cobb is too short to play WR.

Wes Welker - but don't they stick him in slot?

Is Cobb as good as DeSean Jackson or Welker?

Steve Smith is smaller than Cobb.

I had real boner for Jones after his great season - was that last year or year before when he lead league in TDs?

Cobb hasn't sent a tingle up my leg for a very long time - maybe his injury last year pushed his great plays into distant memory.

Maybe you forgot your Viagra.

Ya, he was not bad, eh?

Slot receivers are really their own position, and height isn't nearly as important as on the boundary. In fact it's probably detrimental just because of physics, they need to be balanced and quick. Good slot guys would be like Percy Harvin, Wes Welker, Danny Amendola, Davon Bess, and Victor Cruz. These guys are running routes in the same space as a tight end so their skills should compliment those of a tight end.

This is why its so hard to find a good slot cornerback. You need the size to match up with a tight end, but need the ability to change directions to cover a water-bug type receiver like Cobb.

Rodgers is slow though. I think we really need Bostick and his 4.59 pro day speed, and we need him to stay healthy.

A ton of great points in here but this one really nails what GB is missing

They miss a threat at TE the defense has to pay attention to.

They need a TE threat to emerge. Bostick is the only guy on this roster who might be able to be that IMO.

Randall Cobb remains on double secret probation. As a wide receiver he looked like an excellent punt returner in Detroit.

In first quarter Cobb was streaking down sideline and let a perfectly arced pass slip through his hands. pbmax thought play was headed out of bounds, but I watched again with my more trained, scout's eye. I think it was a critical fuckup and mo changer.

Well, they all make mistakes. But Cobb isn't getting enough separation to make many plays or mistakes.

I don't know what answer is at wide receiver. Cobb is clearly an appetizer, somebody else has to be the second entree.

Hard to tell from the TV broadcast what type of separation our receivers are getting and what type of coverage they are seeing.

Lot of Cover 2 especially after they lost another CB. JSO said it was Cover 2 Man outside with LBs taking very deep drops.

Same story as its been for the last 2.5 years. When they need to take short chunk yardage for a multi-play drive they find a way to self destruct. That pass to Jordy on the last drive was a perfect example. He had a likely first down to Adams on the other side.

3rd and 2...guaranteed pass 20+ yards downfield. It is infuriating. Go get a damn RB that can catch a ball out of the backfield who is at least slightly faster than my grandmother.

I don't mind it normally. They have the talents (Nelson now, maybe Adams and Janis) to pull it off. But just like holding onto the ball, there are certain times its not advised. Fourth down is not the time for a contested shot at the end zone if someone else was open for a first.

Take what their giving you, don't get too locked onto one or two guys.

For Cover 2, it would help to have a pass catching TE to work the middle of the field.
