Doucet doesnt have much experience in clutch situations at the pro level. The only thing he has proven is that he cant stay healthy. Long is making things tough on WRs wanting to make this roster.
Seems like whoever gets the 5th or 6th spot is going to be just as good as anyone's #3 receiver in the NFL
This staff has my full trust when it comes to evaluating receivers, for obvious reasons, so I'll be happy with either of them. My preference is Doucet, but having never watched a training camp, my evaluation of Long is pretty limited. My biggest concern is getting too hyped over meaningless games. Two preseasons ago, I thought this team would rue the day they released Matt Trannon. But if Whis & co decide Long's the guy, I'll be confident it's what's best for the team.
Long was playing with the first string against the Chargers first string D last night. That's what got me to thinking he has a leg up on Doucet right now.
You're right. I should have said he hasn't produced against first string defenders, although he did have some nice blocks last night.
