Roydell

First of all this is training camp and not mini camp. The guys who are spending time on the 1st teams are right now 1st team. Obviously things can change but right now it looks like Roby and Williams are #1 and #2 and looked the best of the WRs in the first practice.

Here is the problem is see with perceptions. Unless you can go out and see these guys practice you are subject to only what you remember about a guy or what you imagine. Fisher is going to be making his judgements based on what happens on the field. Mason said himself that the main reason he didn't see much WR his first 3-4 years was because he simply didn't get opportunities. These 3rd year guys are getting opportunities (they all had decent years statistically in their rookie years when they had opportunities) and they have improved. There are a bunch of quality #1 WRs in this league who didin't produce any better their rookie years that these guys (20+ catches for 300 yards). Most of these guys simply didn't get on the field last year so they lacked opportunity. Now they have a shot to make their move and they are making the most of it so far. They looked good. Not sure what more they can do at this point before the pre-season games start. They aren't doing it with smoke and mirrors.

 

also consider, that Jeff rotates guys in and out of team units

so just because Williams and Roby are first team today, doesn't mean that BJ and Moulds won't be with the 1st unit tomorrow

 

I agree its only the second day of camp, nothing is settled yet.

 

I know Roydell has made more than one drop, even though the big ones are the easiest to remember. I still don't remember any big "wow" plays, at least nothing on the level of Troupe or Calico that got your hopes up.

I don't look much into this training camp order, we've seen this before. But I'd still guess Jones starts, and now maybe Moulds on the other side. At least now we have a pretty heavy competition even if there's no TOs or Harrisons in the group.

 

We need consistency, and Roydell can provide that. I've always seen him more as a number 2 guy though, because he lacks elite speed. Still, put him out there with Roby, and you've got a nice combo of speed and hands, IMO.

But I still think Jones will prove to be our number one. He just looked really good last season.

 

I'll be very happy if the three amigos emerge as our top three wideouts this year. More hindsight kudos for Reese in the draft department.

 

Hopefully they produce as quickly as possible.

 

I hope we are suprised.
