Here's where the WR group gives me concern.I think people are overreacting a little to the WR issue. Sure, the group could use a speedy target. But it's not a bad WR group. Some of the people on this board are making it sound like this is the year we trotted out Khalil Jones and the punter (Brian Monroe) as our top 2 WR's. This group has talent.
They did not have a good spring game, but I still think a group of Restrepo, K Smith, George, Brinson (who was out), B Smith, Ladson, Redding/Worsham (I doubt both will stay), and Horton is a solid rotation. There's likely no superstar in that group, but we have some diverse weapons. I would love to add a speedy vertical WR, but I don't think the situation is as dire as some are making it out to be.
Rambo hauled in a lot of 50-50 and 60-40 balls last year, many for big chunk plays. Who will haul in those passes this year? Key hasn't demonstrated enough consistency yet; we all hope George is that guy but he had all of 7 catches that year. He is going to make a leap but there's no history to suggest he's that guy.
I liked what I saw out of Brinson in limited time last year. It's a shame he's been out because he seems like a guy with nice potential.
