We need some taller WRs

Where does this narrative come from? Brown is 6-1, Jefferson was 6-1, Chase 6-0, Nabers 6-0, Boutee 5-11, Jarvis Landry 5-10, Odell 5-10, Russell Gage 6-0, Trey Palmer 6-1, all successful carriers in NFL. Dj. Chark and Brian Thomas are only 6-3 + plus guys in last 15 years that have had success. I don't want a 6'0 TE but i have no issue with running a all 6'0 tall wr unit out there.

Then why don’t we use them both as big physical WRs who may not have tons of speed but can block as a WR and be physical on long yardage or red zone opportunities. Why don’t we just use some of these players in a specialty role? Not all of our players need to be all around players at their positions. They can come in for certain moments in games. Just like Perkins. He shouldn’t be on the darn field on every down. He should be coming in when we want pressure or a huge play, either in the backfield or roll him into a passing lane with pressure coming from the other direction. Let him play zone at a particular time and place in a game. You do the exact same thing with those types of players with those body types. Really athletic but maybe don’t have the exact size/speed for the overall position. You put them in there to take advantage of situations. I don’t understand why LSU never does this. It’s like they either have to know everything about the position or they can’t play. These other teams don’t have that same expectation, especially if those guys have elite athletic ability. Watch what he (Pimpton) does at OleMiss. Same with Daniels. We should have allowed those guys many more opportunities with drag routes and quick slants. You can’t tell me Daniels couldn’t have gotten into the end zone with the right route trees called.
