Speed package

[Irvin88_4life]

So with the signing of Butler I got to thinking about speed. Most of us have wanted speed inserted into our offense and now we have it. What's the best to get the offense passing game rolling...........

Butler and Thompson outside receivers

Austin is the slot

Zeke in the backfield

Rico at TE



That lineup to me could really cause problems to opposing defenses. You can stretch the field and also run the ball with Zeke. A ton of options with this lineup.

Any thoughts on this my fellow brothers and sisters?

Speed is a nice asset to have, but precise route running and good hands are the most important factors for a receiver (obviously some degree of speed is needed for every receiver). I don't feel we have to have a "speed package". We just have to occasionally use these guys and take advantage of their speed whenever they play. It works better when not advertised.

Rico is SLOW

As a package that gives the defense something new to think about? Absolutely.

As the new starting rotation? No.

As another package, I'd like to see 10 personnel, with Austin lining up in the backfield as a flanker to Zeke. Endless possibilities with that, as well.

 

[DasSchnitzel]

The point of stretching the field with speed is opening up underneath stuff, right? So I'm not sure that you want all speed everywhere because you're going to want route runners to take advantage of the space made by the sprinters

Speed is good and I’d like to see this line-up on occasion. But quickness sometimes is better. Cole is the quickest and best out of his cuts of all our receivers...and one of the quickest in the league.

 

[T-RO]

Rico has no speed

For a man his size he runs well, but you are correct. He’s not fast...and empirically he’s not even as fast as Witten was last year.

 

[GenoT]

Rico has no speed

Rico isn’t gonna be asked to be fast...at least not at first. Just get a bit downfield, see the ball, shrug off the defender and win the jump ball.

Meanwhile, if he ever does get in the open field, my bet is he’ll be fast enough.

 

[CATCH17]

Is Gronk fast?

We just need Rico to be a bully.

Who is going to throw it deep?

Jerry

 

[TexasBacon]

No Rico unless it's goalline, run 4 WR with both Austin and Beasley in the slot. They need to stop running 11 and 12 personal and go 4 wide and Zeke with no TE much more often.

I would go with 3 receiver set with Butler, Tompson and Austin. Bailey as the slot receiver. With Zeke as the Single back. Our TEs are so ineffective. So I think its best to spread the field. Make the defense play the entire field and not crowd the middle. I'm sick of the two TE set. Its so boring, ineffective and useless. Just like Garrett and Linehan.

 

[Cowpolk]

Me

We just need Rico to be a bully.

Gronk ran a 4.68 40 at the combine at 6 foot 6" and weight 268 lbs. That ain't slow for sure.

I like that idea

 

[dallasdave]

Yeah and he can tapdance too

 

[charron]

Keep swaim as the TE. Keep him in to help block for a moment then let him sneak out after the speedy guys have already drawn the attention of the safeties.
