Quote:As an outsider looking in (so take it FWIW) I don't see similar skill sets.


I see Strong as more of a physical receiver than Hopkins. I see Hopkins as capable of being physical, but I think he is a much smoother route runner and gets good separation.

Well no, I agree with that for sure. My point is that Strong is the guy that comes closest to Hopkins overall skillset, and therefore would be the guy that we would likely turn to in that scenario.


I think Miller could potentially become a #1 or very reliable #2 receiver one day, but he definitely is a project and still has plenty of work to do. Luckily he has the work ethic and mentality to want to be great, but it'll probably be at least two years before he's ready to consistently be on the field as a receiver.


Either way, it's nice to know that the Texans should have enough depth to not worry if something happens to Hopkins, again God forbid. That's one thing that was always scary when we had Andrew still going strong-until we drafted Hopkins, we hardly had any playmaking receivers behind him and it sorely showed when he didn't play.
