Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
Slow football day, so here were some "highlights" from ESanders playing on two different teams in 2019. He was big time, prime time.
Sidenote .. check out to toe drag and catch starting around 3:05 ... poetic. I'm glad grandma talked him in to signing w/NO. Enjoy . |

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
Despite his slow development, TE Garrett Griffin, was showing promise till an ankle injury landed him on Injured Reserve last season; his big limitation is his size as he's only listed at 240 lbs.
Now for those unaware, he's also a Long Snapper specialists; so given his size and that extra skill, figure Payton's kept him around and has a vision for him as an TE/H-Back player(Dallas Clark-type receiver)... And that explains the mystery why his jersey no is still in the 40s... Also curios to see if Emmanuel Butler has shown the ability to learn the offense and if he can contribute in kick coverage to increase his overall value; with Kirkland gone, he has an opportunity... With that, I'd consider locks at Wide Receiver to be Thomas, Sanders, and Harris; In the jobs to lose category, Tre'Quan Smith has got to show he's healthy, stronger, and has course-corrected his career... Beat reporters have indicated via Twitter and their columns there's team buzz, or Payton likes, Maurice Harris and Krishawn Hogan... Now, I mentioned Griffin earlier in his TE/H-Back/Dallas Clark-type role because unless WR5 or WR6 shows impact ability in the kicking game, we may only carry 4-5 WRs and have 4 TEs... The three TE locks are Jared Cook, Josh Hill, and Adam Trautman; Payton's wanting Griffin to make this roster, so Griffin stays available/healthy and shows playmaking, he's the fourth TE on the roster... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Pick Your Receivers From The Roster For Gameday
I remember Payton saying that his preseason injury set him back and he was having a tough time grasping some things. This shortened offseason may hurt his chances. Sounded to me like he’s a talented guy who just can’t seem to know where he is supposed to be on a lot of plays.
