blitzmore Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Yeah just not enough depth to do that. But our fifth receiver spot is iffy as it is. If I'm picking our receivers right now, I'm going Moore, Denmark, Kohlert, Watson and ... I don't even know after that. Urrutia maybe? He had a few balls knocked out of his hands last night but I also don't really think they had him doing things that put him in a position to succeed. Jaymar Johnson? Great, but he's a slot not a wideout. Bert Reed wasn't bad either. I certainly wouldn't want Kemp or Barnes. I wouldn't want Urrutia either...he dropped quite a few in TC...I also didn't like his lack of aggression in the game. I think we can do better. Jaymar Johnson? Jury's still out, one game with drops and one pretty good game, I want someone who is going to show up every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Urrutia didn't really get a good shot in Calgary IMO. Hall underthrew pretty much everything at him. I liked his work vs Toronto, but we haven't seen him on a deep route in either game, which is kind of odd. I'd think one of Urrutia or Kelly would be starting game 1, hopefully Urrutia. Would be nice to give Willy at least one big target, otherwise Cory Watson is our only big body receiver. I do like Jaymar Johnson though, when he hits the break in his routes he gets a ton of separation, he's very quick, hopefully the drops vs Toronto were an anomaly. Bert Reed looked to have some attitude and hands, too bad we only saw him for about 5 minutes. I would think Reed and Johnson are pretty good PR bets, and everyone else among the imports outside of them are outright cuts, Barnes, Kemp, Tarver, maybe Kelly if they take Urrutia over him.

JuranBoldenRules Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 This is the first year that I can remember that we haven't had an import receiver really stand up and take charge in training camp... JFG is probably the closest... I'm pretty surprised given our expanded scouting staff. What about last year? Unless you really like Isaac Anderson.

Brandon Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I would not be concerned with finding import receivers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I did like Anderson and Miles... althought I'm not sure if Miles was around that much at TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree re: Urrutia. Bringing him back to the ball is not going to be his strength. Slants and deep routes. Jaymar Johnson was a lot better against Calgary. He also turns 30 in less than a month, which I'm not a big fan of. Bert Reed is honestly the guy I liked the most. But you're right in the sense that we need a big body. He is not that. I think all things considered, I'd stick with Urrutia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Aaron Kelly gets no respect on this forum. He catches everything that's thrown his way and I don't think any new receiver played well enough to take his job away. They all had flashes but consistency was lacking. Very pleased with the national prospects and the skill Carter and Feoli-Gudino showed in limited action, didn't notice Taylor Renaud as much.

In fact yesterday was a typical Aaron Kelly game. One great play that sticks in the minds of fans and then everyone forgets how he was invisible the rest of the game (aside from a drop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueandgold Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 JayMar Johnson looked really good for a guy who hasn't played much football in the last couple of years, and even when he was in the NFL he was primarily a special teams player. Aside from that, I haven't really been impressed with any of the new import receivers. We actually may end up missing Wallace Miles more than anyone would've predicted. Re-signing Chris Matthews when he shakes free from Seattle would probably be perfect right about now but I suppose that's more wishful thinking than anything else.

rebusrankin Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Moore, Denmark, Watson, Kolhert, Kelly with FG and Carter, Renaud as the backups. Urrutia, Reed, Johnson kept around. Team keeps looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxon Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think Carter earned a spot. He has great hands, and was the leading "National" receiver for the Bombers last night. He played both slot and WR so they were definitely having a good look. Brandon and Nasty Nate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dee Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I was more impressed with Kelly than I was with Urretia. I prefer to have action as opposed to 'could be'. Now, it may have been the plays called, but if we have a 'big guy', I expect him to be noticed. SPuDS, blitzmore and kelownabomberfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iso_55 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Did you see the size of the Stamps receivers yesterday? Throw in a healthy Nik Lewis that's a big & physical group. As a fan, I'd just love to have even a couple of those guys. #envy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
