Is it time to start 80 & 86 at WR and put 3 in the slot?

Just my opinion but those are the most consistent playmakers and the best hands on the team through 4 games.

The one thing we are missing besides consistent line play
Is a big possession wr. I selfishly wanted RR to stay for another year but when you can get first round money do it not matter what class. Imagine if MC and MB stayed and finished what they started.

RR didn't get first round money though.

I hate initials... Morris Claiborne and Michael Brockers?! What would they do to help the WRs? Defense is stout

Has trouble catching the ball. Very athletic, but that doesn't really help us considering no one can catch the fvcking ball

All I know is that I'm tired of watching #10 at WR. Nothing personal..he just spazzes out on most passes over 3 yards.

Number 3 would be so dangerous in the slot. Big play potential there...if he catches the ball.

Boone definitely has best hands and Landry is best blocker...so agree as of now

OBJ is our best outside receiver when it comes to beating man coverage and route running. I'm fine with him on the outside as long as he starts cathces balls more consistently.

Landry has made some beautiful catches too. He should be our possession guy with Boone as the deep threat and OBJ in the slot, IMO. Also, do we have a TE that can catch?

Just because almost every catch he has had has been a touchdown does not mean he has the best hands. He has not been targetted nearly as much as OBJ and Landry. Have you seen some of Landry's catches?

He catches the ball. After 4 games, the premium on a receiver who can consistently execute that aspect of their responsibility. He does it consistently along with Landry.

Who cares who has the best hands? The two of them at the primary WR slots give us the best combination of consistency & ability to simply catch passes. Right now, #3 isn't catching the ball. He's had drops-significant ones-against the two best teams on our schedule thusfar. If he can't get more consistent, then I'd rather try the guys who consistently catch even when not the primary looks, and can make athletic adjustments on poorly thrown and/or back-shoulder throws. Which both of them have shown capable of.

I'd rather use some designed plays that are baked into our gameplan to get #3 some shots in the slot than watch him continue to press and not even catch the ball.

He excelled in the slot last year. Move him back there again.

No question. The problem is he drops half the balls thrown to him.

I'd be willing to put money on Landry having the best hands on the team. Kid in HS made some freak arse catches and they get wayyy stickier gloves in college
