He's not going to be primarily in the slot.Pretty sure their recruitments predated Ballz. There were a lot of people dooging over them on the TBS bored though, myself chincluded.1. Those guys suck so it’s not really a loss.
2. This is a run the damn ball type of offense so they think they can suck slightly less elsewhere where it’s a non run the damn ball type of situation.
3. I’m too lazy to go through old threads to find the hot ballz takes explaining how awesome they will be but I’m sure they’re fantastic reading.
It's obvious. With Pete's offense they recruited a lot of finesses guys to try and replace Ross and Pettis who are relied upon in the vaunted shit tier RNG scheme. They never got a guy that could do everything for various reasons. Fuller and Ty just couldn't do it.
Now they want to be run heavy and have a Stanford like wr room. Most of those previous guys don't have the frame nor the mentality to be block first, jump ball receivers.
They want one fast slot guy obviously (Jalen) but other than that there was always going to be turnover because of the change in offensive philosophy.
Yeah this is completely wrong. They aren't recruiting kids to be block first wideouts. They want to run-run-run-throw deep. They want receivers who are both big and can get behind the defense. Ty Jones was easier the best blocker they had in the WR room and he stepped down a level because he's getting passed by kids who can get deep.
And Jalen is an outside receiver, he's not going to be in the slot.
Our wr coach has said "No Block No Rock" but OK!
And who gives a shit if Jalen will take *some snaps* outside? He is the finesse receiver who will be in the slot primarily if it's not a tweener rb, but the rest have to be physical blocking types in this offense. And yes to your point they have to also be able to stretch defenses.
"No block no rock" might be an in house but it's not what they're primarily looking for in receivers and it's certainly not why their easily best blocking receiver peaced the fuck out.
Jones wasn't their best blocking receiver. He had the frame for it which is why the coaches were frustrated that he was so averse to it on film.
Which is why he's at Fresno now.
