PortlandiaEast Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) There is 0% this will happen, but I would find the games a lot more interesting if more players played on both sides of the ball when available - Look at Watt. I know he is a rare breed, but there has to be other situations... Imagine lining up Mario as a fullback on the goal line? What about a backfield of mobile QB's. Vick, Edelman, McNabb, in their respective primes. No one knows whos going to end up throwing the ball. Madness!

beastman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 im a new poster. would just read comments daily on here for YEARS but decided to join the ranks and speak my mind too. i remember when chris hogan was considered a long-running joke to many of you. which i found funny as he always seemed a baller in preseason. this past season, when given the opportunity, the kid excelled. hes got a good head on his shoulders and has amazing athletic ability. i would cross-train a few different players from O to D and vice versa. maybe just see who volunteers to be crossed trained into a different unit, and that player has to put in even more time, and sit in on postiional meetings and such. george wilson is a great example of it. Here are hogans pro day numbers compared to Woods. Bigger, stronger , faster, more agile. Hogan pro day numbers 6’1” - 22140 – 4.50Bench Reps @ 225lbs – 28Vertical – 36.5Broad jump – 126” (10’06”)3 cone – 6.7520 yard shuttle – 4.15Woods Combine numbers:6’0” - 20140 – 4.51Bench Reps @ 225lbs – 14Vertical – 33.5Broad jump – 117” (9’9”)3 cone – 7.1520 yard shuttle – 4.47 28 benchpress reps? that must be elite numbers for wr's, no?

No doubt...Hogan is a beast. We are jam packed at WR. He could be a physical presence as CB. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Chris Hogan is sneaky fast, good footwork, above average vertical leap, has shifty hips and has the ability to go up and get the ball. His agility and knack for finding the ball in a crowd is uncanny. With that said, we are wasting his talents as a WR. In the mold of the Seahawks and now the Jets we need a tall kid at CB and one who isn't afraid to turn, extend and deflect/catch the ball. There is no reason why a talented kid like Hogan should be relegated to 4th WR. He can serve a purpose and that position is CB. Trust me...I know. I just cant argue against this style of thinking.^ no reason whatsoever he cant play both sides of the ball and some special teams still too. Kids a gamer for sure 4.39 40... that's a lie. If he runs a 4.39 forty, why is that video 22 seconds long? #whitelightningmyth check mate Just cut him. Some of you people get way to attached to these players (see Fred Jackson). They could care less about the fans. Just cut Hogan and move on. I too think its an either or proposition. Get it right or move on. great post ! He's taller and faster than Kurt Schulz...why waste his talents at safety until he loses a step. The kid could be a premiere CB...either starting or, at least nickel. I know Leodis has a tough time finding the ball in midair...but damn, I think he could score points given his field vision. Also, when you take the pressure off of him to cover a WR and make Leodis a wide out he will blossom.

coldstorage5 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is HS football, Players rarely switch positions, and when they do most likely they fail. A TE can maybe switch to a T. A great College QB can switch to a Rec. But the Game is so advanced now, players need to acquire skills and master them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Now that I think about, I've always been for Chris Hogan at CB. I'm thinking of calling in to WGR to bring this point up...Rex is a master of unique formations and uses talent effectively. Hogan stands out as the exact type of player he would want on the outside.

Those idiots are probably talking about hockey right now in the middle of hockey season in one of the biggest hockey markets in the United States. What a bunch of jerks.

It pretty much says the opposite. MAYBE you could read into that that TRBJ was proposing Hogan try safety. But I am seeing no mention of CB there.

However, if you go to the third page, I definitely said QB. So maybe I wasn't ALWAYS for it, but I was for it before Fergy was for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
