Crayton I really like him back in the slot

He is more quick than fast and he showed it several times in the slot when running his routes today.

Even if Ogletree gets more snaps I like him to be on the outside so Crayton can use his quickness and large body in the slot to continue to help the offense. I said it since last year I prefer him in the slot because he seems to give Dallas better production from that position.

I think Crayton is underrated by many people here. He is a solid #2 and a great #3 WR for a team that has a threat like Witten at TE.

He is at his best in the slot because he is good at reacting to all the shifting bodies and can find soft spots to let Romo feed him the ball. Him and Romo also seem to be on the same page most of the time.

I really do think we will be better offensively if we try to create favourable matchups for him and then go to him as the primary option on more plays.

He was also great with the RAC today - kind of reminded me of Austin the way he was ripping through the Eagles secondary.

please stop with the solid #2 because he isnt. but he is perfect as a slot receiver, #3. he can have 3 or 4 games like this a year if he plays the slot. put more of a burden on him as a #2 and he doesnt have a break out game like this all year.

He's a solid #2 when given the opportunity. Whether you're happy with him in that position or not is another story.

No doubt. You were wrong then, and still are. He was a solid #2. ;)
