You don't always need explosive players although it helps. Michael Thomas is one of the best receivers in the NFL and he's hardly explosive - but dude gets open and catches the ball. I think a lot of us were hoping Whop would be that kind of physical possession receiver. We don't have guys that will run right by anybody and some of that was Mullen making sure we had WR that would block and be physical with secondary players. We don't have a lot of burners. Was hoping Zuber could be that guy or Guidry.

Spivey is supposed to be fast, but when have we tried to isolate him on a LB and run a deep pattern with him?
