  1. He does four things very well, he runs good routes, he has good hands, he has very good speed and he's very good after the catch. There aren't a ton of #2's who are as good at him at those things, which are four of the top 6-7 things you need out of a WR.

    That's all well, but are these not the very same things that Lee Evans does best? We're better served to have someone on the other side to compliment Evans' style and produce in different situations (such as 3rd and 6) than Evans, not someone whose going to be an Evans clone. The decision comes down to Reed and Aiken in my humble opinion, take your pick. I say we start with Reed, giving him one more shot, and see if he and Losman can regain the chemistry they had last year, and if Reed can get his head out of the clouds and stop dropping passes. If Reed can't pull himself together, then I look to Aiken. The last thing I want to see is Price, Roscoe or Davis on the other side, doing the same stuff Evans does.

  2. I personally wouldn't want Price as our number 2, just because he's too similar to Evans. With Evans as our top man, I'd like to see a steady possession/third down receiver on the other side, and despite his poor preseason I'd give the job to Josh Reed in the hopes that he can get his head together and emerge into a legit starter.

     

    When Losman was in there last year, the two of them developed alot of chemistry, and Reed was Losman's primary 3rd down guy when he needed the first. I have hope that Reed can pull himself together and be the compliment for Evans that we need. If after a few games I'm not getting what I want from Reed, I'd start roatating Aiken into his spot from time to time to see if we can get some production there.

     

    Starting Price, Davis or Parrish in that spot is a mistake, because none of them know how to work underneath. We'd have to throw 30+ yards every passing play. :blush:

  3. I think there's little doubt in any of the coaches' minds that JP is the starter. Because of Nall's injury, we just haven't seen enough of him and he hasn't had enough time in this offense to seriously consider him to start opening day. Even if he plays the whole 1st half of the 3rd and 4th preseason games and plays well with the starting offense against starting defenses, in my mind it still wouldn't be enough to hand him the job over Losman.

     

    However, I do think he should start and play the whole 1st half of the next game, for the purpose of deciding whether he's ready for the backup role. I suspect he'd show more than Holcomb has shown us this preseason and win the backup job right there. And, in these days, rarely do starters take every snap in a season, so in the backup role Nall will eventually get his shot.
