Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

Turns out it's not the receivers holding this offense back, it's the lack of receivers.

Same Ol' Packers. SOP.

Having tried his hand at making it as a soccer player since hanging up his running spikes, Jamaican sprinting icon Usain Bolt has said he would love to try to crack the NFL—but only if he got a call from the New England Patriots or Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Bolt is wise enough to know who’s in charge in Green Bay.

I'd bring him in as a kick returner, and I'd have him run back about 20 kicks with no blockers in front of him - just to see if he could take a hit without fumbling. If he survived without fumbling, sign him.

[mraynrand]

That’s money thinking. Bring in the best sprinter in world history and give him a concussion. Probably more effective and a better PR move to just send him a ball peen hammer and have him do it to himself.

But will he hold on to the ball after getting his head bashed in? If not, he can sprint back to Jamaica.

So you're comparing a second-round pick to an undrafted free agent and a fifth-round pick?

I think he is suggesting we merge those two together with a transporter accident.

Big deal. I liked Terry McLaurin, he was taken R3 and has 32 catches 492 yds 5 TDs.
I was also a fan of AJ Brown and Mecole Hardman, they aren't slouches as rooks either.
We can cherry pick and play favorites with rookies and wouldashouldacoulda. I think it's been established that the WR group is not among the most talented/capable of winning 1-1 battles to gain separation. MLF has to work harder to scheme them open, and use the RBs as receiving weapons in the meantime.

Having a stud TE would also make up for the WRs but we all know about that. Given the Metcalf whining, I'm mildly surprised we don't have crying about not trading both R1s for Hockensen.

I think he’s pointing out that DK is more productive than. Receivers 2+3 for the Packers. DK and MVS were about identical a few weeks back, then Adams went out and the offense went to Jones /spread around. I’ve watched Seattle - DK is getting specific limited looks and he’s making the most of them. Overall though, I don’t like Seattle’s offensive scheme, but the results are great because Wilson makes it work when it matters (which is most of the time because they give up a lot of points).

Metcalf is better now and will get much better than MVS or Geronimo. You make your choose and you live with them. Run the ball, baby!

Just you wait....

[bobblehead]

Hockenson hasn't done enough to make us all claim we knew how good he was all along.

Seahawks are the 2011-2016 packers. HOF QB, great offense. Average to bad defense. They’ll win regular season games but not very likely to win SB
