I like Myles, I just love Graham's potential there. Myles has great speed, but I like Graham's quickness better. He's just so smooth as an athlete.Quote:

Gonna depend on how healthy Market is. If they think Market is healthy then Market & Coman start. If he's not all the way back I think Coman & Bryant start.Quote:

My issue with both Myles and Graham last year (moot point for the latter I suppose) is that neither showed they could consistently they could catch the ball down the field, particularly over the middle. By all indications, a big factor in our offense being completely effective is the slot receiver catching passes over the middle. No doubt Myles has plenty of time to improve in this area, but I do expect Gray to be the undisputed starter for this reason.
Yea but the biggest issue with Cox was never physically he didn't have the mental capacity. That's where Bryant & hopefully Peters will be light years ahead of Cox. Cox has elite athleticism but the mental part of the game he never grasped. Bryant & Peters physically can no doubt contribute this year how much & how well they do will be decided by how far along they are above the shoulders.Quote:

I'm pro whatever gets him on the field the most.Quote:

He'd rather see an inside seam route to the TE than a deep post from the WR.
Give him the big bodies outside and a ground and pounder inside and let him go to work.
Move Ross and Wilson all over the field.
Hell line them up in back field some if need be.
Same way Bama used Cooper . Just get the best player makers the ball in their hands anyway possible..
This. ...The more playmakers on the field the better.Quote:

I think Donald Gray is going to end up being our best receiver at year's end and that's not to take anything away from Bear and Fred ross. I read somewhere that he has been the talk of the team when he practices, catching everything one-handed. I think he is going to be our version of Steve Smith, the current Raven, former Panther
Myles > GrahamQuote:
