Jordy Replacement, Part Deux

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm sticking with Montgomery miracle. Cobb stock rising. Is Jones good enough?

Monty looked solid against the Seachickies. Hopefully he can develop and make us forget about Janis.

there will be no replacement. The offense has to adjust as none of the guys has the deep speed of Jordy. Those double move deep strikes just aren't gonna happen. Maybe Janis, but it looks like they don't like him.

I agree with Rand. They will compensate for Jordy's absence by spreading the ball around. I was never comfortable relying on Cobb to "replace" Jordy. Cobb's forte is shorter routes and YAC. He's not a consistent deep threat. For that, they'll have to use all the guys they got on occasion.

I can't believe you didn't put Kuhn's name up for the second poll.

The primary outside will be Adams. The real replacement for Jordy though will be the short passing game. Rodgers will still take shots when he gets guys to jump; but Cobb has always done his best work in the 8-20 yard area, Jones most likely doesn't have the speed to get deep, and Adams is still finding his way.

I wish I could add red's NOW WITH MORE BOOBS!!!® slogan to this updated poll.

Rand, Maxie, we know there will be no complete replacement for Jordy by one guy. As Coach Mac would say, "It will be a team effort to replace Jordy's production. We have to stay positive and play with good pad level."

Still, somebody will eventually emerge as the leading outside WR. Even if all the receivers are special in God's eyes, and all are above average, one guy will have most yards-per-catch, and perhaps most receptions.

We've been through this before, you boobs.

why don't you start another poll?

No shit, some other receiver will emerge to take his catches, and if that's your point, the answer is Adams, barring injury. If you're instead asking if his skill set will be replaced, well, I answered that too. Most likely, I will be wrong in either case.

Sherman had a quote after the game something to the effect of, "They still have Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball."

There is a reason he went to Stanford I guess.

I think seeing Monty out there last night instead of Janis spoke volumes and that is not good news for Jeff. He's been in this offense longer but is having a difficult time seeing offensive playing time and punt/kick returns.

Jeff Janis is a physical marvel though. He's going to get every chance. Seems like the kiss of death to say you hope the light goes on for him at some point, but maybe he is on Brian Williams schedule.

The light will go on for Janis, but you are looking at a similar progression as Bill Schroeder. Schroeder had 33 receptions total in his first four years. He followed that up with three consecutive 900+ yard seasons.
