He wasn't a slot guy until he played it under Haley.
Before that he was a no 2....

you can be the "slot" guy and be a teams FIRST or SECOND read in an offensive set making the WR2 actually the WR3. I'm saying when he was in Arizona he was the the 3rd WR. Maybe he didnt work the slot, and that was for Boldin, or Fitz and he lined up at WR2, but he was still the 3rd WR read and the 3rd WR on the depth chart, even though he didnt play the slot. He was a 2nd WR once in his career and that was 2 years ago when he caught 61 balls for us and McCluster/Baldwin were even more useless than they were this last season. |

No. 1, no. 2, and no. 3 are not positions. X, Y, and Z are positions. Split end, flanker, and slot.
He was not a 'number two' WR. He played Split end in 3 WR formations and Boldin usually moved over into the slot. If you're going to grade guys as 1, 2, and 3, then do so by playing time. In that regard he would have been a #3 WR. There are already multiple ways to reference the specific WR position they're playing and none of them are numbers. After boldin left he was a decent 2nd option and incredibly good 3rd option. I like Breaston. It's not worth thinking about why he wasn't playing, because there is no sane reason. |
