Does Malachi Toney move outside next year?

[CityboyCanes4life82]

Do you move him outside and allow him to be your number 1? Personally I think he is capable of being our number 1.

 

[Cane Fan 4 Life]

I don’t think so. He doesn’t have the size to go up for the jump balls doesn’t have top end speed IMO. He runs terrific routes in the slot and can get open quickly and I think that is where he will continue to excel.

 

[Derrick Griffin]

No. He’s our number 1 from the slot. Just like Tavon Austin, just like Tank Dell.

 

[Go Canes!!]

We definitely need to change things up after his limited success this season.

brah apparently Jo Jo Trader was our #1 lol

 

[Carolinacane83]

Let’s move him to TE. We need more production from that room.

 

[FuriousStyles]

Nah… he’s rarely if ever is going to get a team best cover person lining up in the slot because college CBs don’t do a lot of trailing/following. You can be way more creative with him being primarily a slot which was we’ve been doing lately.

Those wheel routes from the backfield and the slot have been deadly for us. Mismatch in our favor every time

you don't have to have size to be the 1........ depends how your offense is designed plenty of nfl teams don't have 6'5'' #1s one of them is in miami. kc baltimore etc.

if your OC has a brain "small" WR work outside.

Maybe....but he works just fine in the slot. No reason at to change that next year.

I was wondering if he would be like a JSN or Antonio Brown. He seems to be so elite at route running, I was wondering if he should be moved outside to become the true 1.

Do you think he is good enough to learn multiple positions and move him around? I would love to hear people thoughts on scheming him from different positions

 

[423Hurricane]

First of all his name is Malachi Toney. Secondly, how many more positions does he need to play? He’s been a slot receiver, QB, direct snap in the backfield, and punt returner. Maybe LT? DE? Punter?

 

[johnnytsunami01]

Can't take Jeremiah Smith's spot

 

[San Amaro Dr]

There's no benefit to moving him outside.

 

[ristwasdown]

He's not needed outside. I'd bet he plays in the backfield more than he does outside

Good catch, originally had Toney only, then added his last name in the wrong place. I could not figure out why something looked off…lol

Moving him around would make it impossible to game plan for was my thought process. Possibly being a version of Santana Moss.

Talk it into reality..lol

No- As a slot he should be the focus on shallow, y-cross, y-sail, and the slide guy on stick. Nasty switch/wheel player as we've seen. Smart option route player so for calls like 6 he can easily break off the routes and find space.

Slot also gives him the chance to move around in motion, jet sweep, etc.

He was moved around a lot this season. Almost always in motion. Jet sweeps. Throwing TD’s. Catching TD’s. Punt returns. Direct snap runs. I just don’t know how much more there is for him to do.
