Sadly, the tallest guy we have is only about 5'11", so none of our receivers are going to be able to come down with jump balls or anything that.

bennet and knox are 6'0 hester the only 5'11

Six of one is half a dozen of the other. 6'0" is still not tall enough to intimidate defensive backs in the NFL in this day and time.

Bennett and Knox were listed at 5' 11 1/4" from their combine measurements. Not quite six foot.

:X Touche, DB! lol. But still, wouldn't it be nice to have a WR the size of Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson?

No doubt.. just pointing out in today's game of WCO and even some spread stuff coming into league, speed/cutting ability still does kill, and many of the top playmaking WR's are 6 foor or less actually.

If anything, seems more 6 foot or under WR around now, and also 6'4" and above WR.. like the 2 extreme's are the mode..

If Jay gets a bigger receiver that has a chance to be a #1 Hester's numbers will tumble Lovie will then say "we want Devin to do what he does best-return kicks"
I want my future hof KICK RETURNER to be fresh so he can break the game open and score changing the complexion of the game FAR MORE than a experiment to be a average receiver.

I am thinking that we should add the statue of liberty play to the play book.

do you really think a professional Football player,an elite athlete- needs to pick his nose on the sidelines for 10-25 minutues between a kick retun to be 'fresh"?? I really disagree with that.. No in shape WR can't play 50-80% of the down's in a series, have the "D" come out and hopefully go 3 and out and not be recovored and 'fresh"( at least 5 minutes later and most likely more) to run 60-100 yards ONCE and then do the rest again.. We aren't talking the 400lb Fridge, but a ver low body fat WR...
