Many are feeling blue about the wr corp. I’m tapping the breaks.

Did anybody believe that 3 rookie wr’s Would have a profound affect on this year’s offense. This position was so weak we had to flood the position. It turns out Johnson is the diamond in the rough. I think Issabella will play a roll and perhaps Butler will be on the practice squad.

White, Byrd, Cooper, Sherfield, will only make the team because of special teams. Maybe we will bring in Crabtree. If we do, color White gone.

Bottom line I think things will sort themselves out over the next few weeks.

I expect Kirk and fitz as 1 and 2. a rotation behind is led by keesean. I expect Isabella and Butler to improve by mid season.

I am totally down with a veteran #3.

KeeSean will stick on this team for a long time due to his nice route running & great hands. Really good in short areas as well. I’ll give Isabella another year to fully get acclimated, but I don’t think Hakeem will make it to his 2nd contract on this team. I think I said that as soon as the draft was over.

Butler will be claimed if they cut him so he won’t be on the practice squad. He won’t be cut though.

I don't think we'll get a true reading in the first PS game on who's hot or not.

Reason - coaches are too concerned about learning which buttons to push for many players.

In some instances, players are kept out in order to motivate them. (methinks Butler is one of those).

Other players are given more snaps to provide more game footage or give them more experience.

Some vets get rested.

I'm guessing some #2's will get more snaps "to answer some questions" about whether their ready.

Can't wait.
