I saw some good stuff out of Hartline last week. I don't want to jump the gun too quickly though, as I did with Chris Williams. I want to see Hartline one more time tomorrow before I get too excited again. Otherwise yeah, would love to see him start.
Call me crazy, but I'm not too concerned about who starts and who doesn't. I think each of these guys will get plenty of chances to play.
Thats true, whomever starts or does not start will be irrellavant in the grand scheme of things. All three will get snaps. I do like what I have seen/heard from Hartline so far and am cautiously optimisitic about him being a really good WR.
Its a really nice problem to have with all the receiver struggles we have had in past years. Seems that we have a stable of productive and talented receivers. Hopefully Turner eventually becomes part of the equation and presents a new threat for teams to defend again'st.
While I like the article as a whole, I find this quote amusing, to say the least. Easily, hmmm, he catches a pass some 5-7 yards down field and then runs some 40+ yards yet he is easily caught from behind, ooooooooooook.
The writer seems to point towards Hartline as the guy they like the most, but my guess is that barring a trade, all three will make the roster, therefore all three will have chances to impact the offense. Remember how it seemed each game last year, particularly the first half of the season, they seemed to highlight a different offensive guys' skillset...I see that continuing to happen...
Does Patrick Turner make the 53 man squad? How long before we start seeing him contribute? How did Hartline come out so far ahead of Turner, when we drafted Turner higher and he is so tall to give us that red zone threat? Do you folks think we will see Turner, but only in red zone packages?
Since if he makes the roster, he won't be a starter (based on what we have with Ginn, Cam, Bess and Hartline...whoever are the starters their ahead of Turner), we will see him in packages and specialized plays that suit his game and our opposing DBs...That seems to be the way Sparano works things...he attacks the weaknesses very well of the opponent we face each week...
Turner needs to have a decent Special Teams day tomorrow to ensure his spot. Even with a bad performance though, he may not be cut as it is his first camp as a high rookie draft pick.
