How will he fare in a WCO? Isn't he awful at route running?

Well, that would definitely be a problem.

Misread OP as Baldwin. Forgive me.

It's more of an Eagles philosophy brought in by Joe Banner but there's physiological truth to it. Receivers need burst and agility. Both decline rapidly after 29 and if they are not perfect route runners he won't bite. That said, if the price is low and the routes are perfect...

actually, WCO is all about short routes in & out. You don't need to have speed as much as the ability to get off the ball quickly and get turned in or out.
Bowe is going to flourish in WCO with his brutal skill set off the ball. Baldwin needs to get that going too. What both players have to offer to the WCO style is their height & strength, the ability to leverage quickly and give the QB a large target. I've seen Baldwin run good routes at practice, but during games he does not get off the ball quickly enough and does not understand leverage at this level. He has a hard time adjusting his routes to press cover & has been poor route runner as a result. He needs to get stronger upper body and he needs to learn much better technique all around. The guy has not been putting himself in the right position getting off the ball, during initial cuts & shielding the pass using his body. It has been poor, all of it. But, he seems to know it from what I saw during practices. It simply did not translate during games. CB's are really having their way with him. If Haley were here, he'd be all on Baldwin to bend those knees, head up. This coming season will be his make or break, I believe.
