Quote:Again, my argument isn't really against big men playing slot WR ---- its when doing so you then are forcing smallish WR to the outside. 

 

Now some of my predjudice on this is probably the result from watching the Jags in the past force a square peg into a round hole with constantly playing Mike Thomas on the outside, when he was obviously not a good fit there. 

 

If you have smaller WR that play like Antonio Brown or Steve Smith and have either the quickness to continuously beat their assignment or the strength/ leaping ability to beat their assignment then I have no problem with it. But those 2 are few and far between. 

 

The points people are making is that you don't have to regulate a player to JUST a slot receiver or JUST an outside receiver. The player Marqise Lee reminds me of the most is Greg Jennings. Living up in Packer Land, I've watched a lot of Jennings over the years. I'd say he probably took 60% of his snaps from the slot position and the rest split out. The Packers (like a lot of teams) switch up there WR positions to keep defenses guessing. Here is a good article on that from when Jennings use to be on Green Bay's roster:
