Don't get too excited by that combine speed, his game speed is slower. His forte is the quick pass. He has a great first step and is into routes abnormally fast. He offers great potential on hot routes. He is not physical and doesn’t do well on 50/50 balls which is not surprising considering his height. Isabella has a good catch zone grabbing poor throws with ease. His concentration is exceptional and he rarely drops a catchable throw. He’s solid against zones being very adept at finding the seams. His size makes him fairly useless as a blocker
Agreed with the speed Harry.

He’s Wes Welker with 1 more gear. Getting open is half the battle something most of our guys struggled with last season.

Shallow crosses. Get used to a ton of them. Kirk or Isabella will trade off with Fitz while the other one will be the speed backer as Kyler and DJ RPO in the backfield.

It will be epic.

Hopefully Kevin White can still draw attention of the deep safety.

I just want to see our WRs do something this season which I did not see last season removed from Larry and Kirk... when the play breaks down and our mighty midget starts scrambling looking down field, come back and get open for the man

Yep. If we can get this rolling, it's going to be a nightmare for defenses.

Not to mention the RPO'S with Murray and Johnson.

I heard in the Air-Raid they call it the inside receiver and not a true slot.
The Air Raid relies on a lot of bunch trips and stack formations. You prob will have Fitz Isabella and whoever else on one side with Kirk on the other.

Kingsbury has been successful with multiple dynamics. He has had backs and successful tight ends thrive. The strictly air raid tag is wrong. The Cardinals needed to surround him with strong coordinators and position coaches. They did that. Where they failed was not firing Steve Keim. But I will move on starting tomorrow

Kid ran a 10.5 100 meters in HS and a 22.6 200 meters. I know track speed and football speed are not the same but he's much faster than all the white receivers people keep comparing him to. I hope he's half as good as some of them are.

If we want some height at WR, maybe we will take the kid Wesley from tex tech who I think i
is 6'4" or something like that and is a late round prospect. KK coached him so knows him well.

Butler is Taller and faster. Butler would give the cards a mismatch WR

He’s track fast but tape says he rarely gets behind people or runs away from them. Not sure the difference can be taught.

Im no expert by any means but I know what I see. Many times I will tell myself “ he reminds me of “ and I was doing that when I saw him at the senior bowl. I said reminds me of a fast Edelman and Walker only faster. Hope I’m right and the experts are wrong on this one.

Harry...with all due respect, the tape I've seen suggests otherwie. He is separating from his defenders quite often other than some under thrown balls he had to wait or come back on.

He’s very quick off the line and yes gets separation. I’m talking about getting deep behind people or simply outrunning them.

Can't really agree. Yes, he is quick and gets seperation. Him being a white WR on the smaller side, he gets automatically labeled the next Welker or Amendola. But I can envision Isabella taking the top off. He was a track star. In fact, he got behind the defense quite often, but his QB was very poor. Even when you watch the highlights, the deep bombs are underthrown or lead him the wrong way. Even on short throws his QB was often too late and threw behind him. Hardly ever you see a WR with his type of numbers who had to adjust to so many bad throws. Almost every bomb to him is underthrown which forces him to slow down and battle for the ball.
