Just got to watch the Spring Game.

I like some of the plays we ran with Dupree in the slot and Chark out wide.

Gonna get some great mismatches, and if we can get people to respect Chark as a deep threat we can run some great underneath stuff.

I like it as a change of pace, but he needs to always be on the field and needs a good bit of time on the outside as well

He's a superstar IMO. There should be no limit to where he can lineup as a skill player. Just get him the ball.

Amazing he only had like 14 catches last year and 5 TDs.

He and Quinn are our best route runners. Would love to see them rotate in the slot.

i agree...he is and will be elite...and i promise you him in the slot with chark and dural on outside its gonna be sick...because i think chark is gonna be a game changer that people will have to respect...and i just dont think there is a team with a defensive backfield that can cover all three of them...

Dupre in slot usually will get 3rd string CB or safety

Hiring Ball has already shown benefits in terms of technique and fundamentals

I think he's more of an edge guy personally. The starting two should be Dural and Dupree on the edge with Chark, Tyron Johnson, Diarse, and Quinn all rotating within the slot. A big suprise this year I think will be DeSean Smith the TE. If we can find him a way to get the ball, he has a big fast moving body that's good in versatile positions.

Dupree just has too much Height and Jumping capabilities to be running most of the underneath routes. I think that really suits Tyron Johnsons game perfectly and he might just be the starting z by the end of the season.

Diarse needs to be on the field more this year. Not saying over dupree but over Quinn for sure.

I went to the game and dvr'd the SECN replay of the spring game. I did not get the second half so I don't know if they showed much of it.

The point I want to make was that they came out in a set with Dural wide, Dupree slot, and Chark to other wideout. The result was two completions to Dupree over the middle "a la Juice Landry" and a flare to Williams out of the backfield similar to some of the passes we threw to Jones/Neighbors last season. This set was very productive!

Oh, and I left out that AJ was the QB at the time FWIW.
