rebusrankin Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I assume the assumption is McDuffie as the speed guy, Adams as the physical receiver who wins jump balls and Mayo as a more all around guy, Kolhert as the safety valve and Denmark as the leader. It makes sense on paper but the lack of experience/production thus far has me worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the receiving core sucks, but hey its sucked for a couple of weeks now and we've still been winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me as well, other than Denmark the only other receiver that's had a half decent game is Mayo, and that only happened once.

LimJahey Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 almost guarantee Mcduffie will be returning kicks and punts. probably not a whole lot on offence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash00 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I would assume if McDuffie is going in as a WR he could be used as a decoy to keep the D honest. If the Als bring pressure and he gets 1-on-1, Nichols can just throw it and let McDuffie run under it. I'm not enthralled with him in the starting lineup but who knows, maybe this adds another dimension to the offense, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'd be pretty shocked if McMuffin is a full time starter. He might get some reps but I don't see how they can have him out there on every snap. I can see him on kickoff returns and part-time on offence.

Ottawa has a good defence and even though the Larks were short in their receiving corps, Glenn lit Ottawa's defence up pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I still Hope Carter is playing this game. I want our secondary to humble him. And hope he tries that same Campbell **** with MOS. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never suggested they should be afraid of him, but he is very fast and if MTL sends pressure and lines up man on man there is a potential for a mismatch there. I don't think anyone is or has suggested that McDuffie is a solution at WR but seeing as he may be playing this week it doesn't hurt to look at what potential benefits to the offense he provides.

To me he doesn't seem like he can consistently play as his route running and hands are probably sub par. Would be interesting what he can do out there though.

I don't expect much from him TBH, his hands are suspect and I don't know enough about him to comment on his route running but based on his limited reps at WR I doubt he excels there either. He would be most effective running screens and deep routes if nothing else but to open up guys underneath or take advantage of heavy blitzing. I would imagine his offensive ceiling is likely a poor man's Brandon Banks. Ironic considering that is also his moniker on returns.

BBlink Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 There's definitely a huge recency bias when it comes to determining who has good hands or not. McDuffie has barely been around long enough to determine one way or another. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Dave and I were just talking this morning about how people seem to have taken that one drop McDuffie had in pre-season (right along the goal line) and decided that he's got shitty hands, end of story. I'm not sure that's true at all... blitzmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's true at all... Which isn't to say he doesn't but either way hasn't been proven. I wonder what people think about Fogg? Because as many interceptions he's had, he actually had two of them hit him straight in the hands and fall to the ground. Do people remember that?

Noeller Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Darrin Bauming @DarrinBauming 2h2 hours ago Rookie corner Terrence Frederick is not practicing today, which makes the takeover of his spot by Johnny Adams make more sense. #Bombers Sounds like TF's dinged up, so that's why Adams goes in for him and not Roberts......
