I expect our other WRs to have more production than Dex but that doesn't disqualify Dex from being a playmaker and an asset to this team. I also saw him doing some blocks and making extra effort in that aspect down field. FWIW that's something to be recognized.

DMC will get around 6-7 catches a game simply because Cassel will check down often.

I've come around a little bit on McLackluster. His hands really impress me, he seems to catch everything. I also think he's a tough sonuvabitch.
The biggest problem so far has been how he's been used. Obviously they never intended him to carry the RB load that he was forced into last year. But more importantly it showed that he isn't particularly good at making people miss. I think the FO thought they were getting a Josh Cribbs, Devon Hester type of guy. A guy that you just had to find ways to get the ball in his hands. It's clear he doesn't fit that role. So here we are left with the one thing he does well. Receiving. How long before defenses start thinking of him as a receiver? Probably not long. How long before defenses realize that Cassel only throws short? That book is written. How long before Dex gets blown up on a poorly thrown crossing pattern? Hope he likes smores, because LBs and safeties are gonna be camping in his receiving window. Besides that, his size makes him a smaller target for the QB, and Cassel needs the biggest targets he can get. I think Dex very well could be a big part of the offense in the early part of the season. I don't expect it to last.

Just saying what will probably happen....not saying it's a good or bad thing.
If anything it's Cassel's fault for not throwing downfield more often, esp when he has 2 HUGE WR's.

I agree. It should help open up our outside receivers.

People were CONVINCED Devon Wylie was not only going to take his job, but push him off the team. He has 1 catch in three games. I'm not sure he's asserted himself as anything more than a punt return guy. And I have nothing against the kid. I hope he makes the team and helps improve our return game.

I like McCluster but he was a poor pick where he was drafted. He's another one of those barometer players where if he's a major part of your offense then your offense probably isn't great.

I think I might very much wish he had been after this season as he's making Cassel look improved which I don't think he really has in any meaningful way. |
