[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1047492, member: 17953"] I saw it in Driver from the start. He reminded me of Fred Biletnikoff. He played the game between his ears, and that's what made him great. I've always been able to see special things in players who will make it. It's just "there," and not easy to describe. It's like when I saw James Jones, coming into camp, I knew he was going to put up numbers, because while running routes, his hip rotation was perfection. He did not have even the slightest hesitation in getting back to speed. When the hips came around, he was flat gone, and you weren't going to get that step back. One thing that both Driver and Doubs do, that I wish all receivers did. Their game included/includes getting your body between the defender and the ball in a way that they can't get to it, or make the INT. It's such a subtle thing out there, but you can see some players do it, others don't. Wicks will hopefully learn to do that. Until he does, I don't like the idea of throwing to him in the middle of the field too much. Watson, on the other hand, does it some of the time, and not at other times. I think it's the mental thing about getting injured that stops him at times. Reed probably has the best reach catch on the team, for a long ball. He gets those arms out and still maintains body control, and has good hands for grabbing the ball. His only problem is that he doesn't always go flat out after passing defenders. He isn't loafing, but he also isn't getting the separation he could, because I think he questions if anyone can throw it deep enough for his speed. It will develop more as time goes on. To be honest, I have never been this up on a group of WRs being on the roster at one time in the past. This group is solid, and I don't think adding and subtracting from it is a good idea, except down at the lowest level on the team. You want that continuity, and knowledge and experience each brings to the table. There's so much potential on this roster that it's sick. Now, if they can find some help on both sides of the LOS in the trenches, it's going to be several years of having the potential of getting another Lombardi or two. [/QUOTE]
