[Phoenix-Talon]

Now that Plaxico Burress and Terrell Owens are both out of the equation ...the question is ... who has the best WR corp in the NFC-East?

Commanders: Santana Moss, and Devin Thomas

Cowboys: Roy Williams, and ________?

Giants: ____________ and _________?

Eagles: DeSean Jackson, and Kevin Curtis

Your thoughts ...

When did only two players make a corps of wrs?

I've asked myself the same question for the last 15 minutes.

Phoenix-Talon, I can change your thread's title to more accurate reflect your thread's question. Just let me know.

Don't know that i'd put the Eagles on top right now But Maclin and Jackson looks like a very promising duo down the road but any duo with Kevin Curtis can't be considered too good lol

The Skins probably have to best duo right now with Moss and ARE but that says more about how weak the NFCE is on WRs then how good the Skins are

I'd put Williams and Crayton at 2nd

Jacson and Curtis 3rd

The Giants last, their entire WR corp has less carer catches then Crayton

ARE is God-Awful. No way do the skins rank that high. I'd still put them last. But admittingly the difference between 1st and last in this division in regards to WR's is pretty darn close.

No clear advantage for anyone.

Santana Moss is probably the best WR in that group. And don't let Desean Jackson's rookie performance fool you, he's not going to hold up.

Desean Jackson needs to round his game off and bulk up.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Desean Jackson needs to round his game off and bulk up.

And not be a total moron.

He's got great speed, moves, and special teams ability but this league is getting bigger, faster, and stronger every year. I just don't see him going between the hashes very often and making him a very one dimensional receiver.

 

[Zaxor]

the only time Crayton was starter (13) his stats looked like this:
Name.
Season.....Team..........................Receiving.
...........................................G......GS....Rec....Yds.....Avg.....Lng...TD.
Crayton.
2007....Dallas Cowboys...........15......13.....50.....697.......13.9....59T....7.
.
Moss.
2008....Washington Commanders....16.....16.....79....1,044....13.2.....67T....6.
ARE.
2008....Washington Commanders....16.....16.....53......593.....11.2....31......4.
.
Jackson.
2008....Philadelphia Eagles.......16.....15.....62......912.....14.7....60.....2
Curtis.
2007....Philadelphia Eagles.......16.....16.....77.....1,110....14.4...75T....6

Not a lot of difference between Crayton and the others

Alot is determined by who the wr's qb is which makes the cowboys wrs the best in that group to me.

1 DAL - RWilliams, PCrayton
2 PHI - DJackson, KCurtis
3 NYG - DHixon, DTyree, SMoss
4 WAS - ARE, SMoss

I think of all 4 teams the cowboys are the only team with a true #1 wr in Williams. It seems that our division is loaded with #2 and 3 wr's.

 

[Tyronosaurus77]

They may not be WR, but they are pass catchers and they will have better stats than a lot of NFCE WR this year, thats a lock.

Phoenix-Talon, I can change your thread's title to more accurate reflect your thread's question. Just let me know.

Thanks DE ...however, before you consider changing the title (I have no problem changing the title to generate more dialogue), I'd have to ask Speedkilz88 ...unless a special designed play is called, when are more than two widereceivers on the field at any given time? Beside, if you wish, you can identify as many WRs as your roster will carry.

Unless, Speedkilz88 was intentionally trying to bloch dialogue, he knew the direction this thread was going. Most people will ask for clarification by saying if you meant ...then my response is ______. etc ...

Look, my being an Eagles fan should have absolutely nothing to do with threads/posts that have dialogue value/are interesting.

Mic check ...one two ...can anyone feel me on that?!

A special designed play? Aren't they all?

You haven't been paying much attention to the NFL as of late if you think that 3 WR sets aren't widely used by all teams, and frequently.

Exactly.

 

[jazzcat22]

So you saying McNabb made Jackson look good?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I think as of right now, Philly probably has more chemistry at the position. I think Roy Williams, Miles Austin and Crayton will do some damage in Dallas though.

 

[Rampage]

So you saying McNabb made Jackson look good?

that's my opinion on Desean so far.

 

[jazzcat22]

that's my opinion on Desean so far.

I agree, I was not exactly impressed with him either. Yes he made some plays, and he was a rookie. So will see what happens.

You haven't been paying much attention to the NFL as of late if you think that 3 WR sets aren't widely used by all teams, and frequently.

You apparently don't know too much about special plays ...they are not used typically (sometimes known as razzle-dazzle plays).

Special Razzle-Dazzle Plays (not all plays are ...)- These special plays (and no, all plays aren't specially designed like these) ... are deceptive action typically consisting of a series of complex maneuvers, such as a double reverse or hand-off, usually executed in a flashy manner: a team relying more on power and speed than razzle-dazzle (aka ...razzle-dazzle, razzle, razzmatazz, razmataz) .

Trick Plays, also known as a gadget play or gimmick play, is a play that uses deception and unorthodox strategies to fool the opposing team. A trick play is often risky, offering the potential for a large gain or a TD if it is successful, but with the chance of a significant loss of yards or a turnover if not.

Here is a typical formation of Widereceivers ...


http://cowboyszone.com/wiki/File:Football-Formation-WR.svg
An example of a wide receiver's positioning in an offensive formation.


"Split end" redirects here.

Again, this depicts a traditional WR formation.
While the general fan base and most commentators use the generic term wide receiver for all such players, specific names exist for most receiver positions:

• Split end (X or SE): A receiver on the line of scrimmage, necessary to meet the rule requiring seven such players at snap. Where applicable, this receiver is on the opposite side of the tight end. The split end is farthest from center on his side of the field.[5]
• Flanker (Z or FL): A receiver lining up behind the line of scrimmage. Frequently the team's featured receiver, the flanker uses the initial buffer between himself and a defender to avoid jamming, legal contact within five yards of the line of scrimmage. The flanker is generally on the same side of the formation as a tight end. As with the split end, this receiver is the farthest player from the center on his side of the field. The flanker is probably lined up just like a split end except that he is just behind the line of scrimmage, being in the backfield and not on the line.
• Slot receiver (Y or SL): A less-formal name given to receivers in addition to split ends and flankers. These receivers line up between the split end/flanker and the linemen. If aligned with a flanker, the slot receiver is usually on the line of scrimmage, and if with a split end, off the line of scrimmage. As with the flanker position, a featured receiver often takes a slot position with a split end to avoid jamming.
• Slot back: A receiver lining up in the offensive back field. Canadian and
• Arena football allow them to take a running start at the line. They are usually larger players as they need to make catches over the middle. In American football slot backs are typically used in flexbone or other triple option offenses (only Canadian football uses them in almost all formations).

Note: I'm just responding to your question.
