lining him up on the outside or in motion, but maybe out the backfield too. we need that line to keep Cutler up for an extra second

 

The game is on NFL network at 1PM today for those who don't know (2 hours from now)....set your DVR if you want to catch it.

 

Has anyone really watched how tyreek hill is used in Reid's system, does he line up on the outside like grant has?

 

Don't forget Thomas as well.

 

That's the thing bras, and I mentioned this yesterday, but grant is winning on route running and speed...he hasn't even displayed his rare open field ability, which is every bit as good as hill.

 

we would have to trade Stills, Parker or Landry. No thanks. I know Grant and Carrioo will improve, but not at the expense of losing the big 3

 

I imagine a defense trying to stop Grant on a wheel route out of the backfield and... it cannot be done.

 

I'm no offensive guru, but he only other thing I can think of is a bunch formation including Grant. That might allow him a moment to get loose.

 

was thinking the same thing, like Sproles, right?

 

LB covering him LOL

 

I think it's a trust issue for Gase. Grant needs to prove the fumble issues are behind him so he can see more playing time. Love what he has done so far this preseason.

 

I don't want him on special teams. he hasn't proved that he is a better player there

 

I hope he makes the team

 

Last night's first half offense was almost 100% Grant....yet he dropped several passes as well. I'd like to say he's a lock to make the team.

To use him more of offense, I think it's just a matter of getting him on the weak side opposite Stills and Parker, or on the strong side crossing the field....whatever it takes to put him in some space. I don't think the challenge is at the top of the route at all...teams can double him all day long....if he gets separation then it's over. When you factor in that Cutler will launch before a guy is even open, that's going to be a huge weapon this season.

Personally, I'd have him on the field sometimes on the early downs in place of Landry and all those silly bubble screens we run. Just get him a favorable match-up, let it rip and then have him sit for the next 20 minutes until they're ready to try it again. I have a feeling that homerun pass will be there all year long though with him as a #4-#5 type of receiver.

 

He scored two Td's last year.

 

I don't know, man. all he does is score touchdowns. you have to do more than that.

 

wow, casper the ghost is way out in front!!!
