Quote:I see why they did it, but plug him into this offense.

 

Who would you play off of the line...Watkins or Shorts?

 

I have similar concerns about Shorts against big, physical corners.

 

Once they get into their routes, both are fine.

 

Just getting them into their routes against certain players/schemes is my concern.

 

Now a guy with Watkins' tools and coaching from Sullivan, he should be fine.

 

But right now that's the one concern I have re: Watkins.

 

I agree with Shorts, but you don't have to stick with the same formation on every play; you can switch it up from time to time and rotate Mike Brown in as well. In addition, Watkins has the kind of speed that means if you are jamming him then you had better have a Safety over the top of him. While it may take some time / production for teams to develop this kind of respect for him, I feel confident that it will happen.
