Ok.....enough of the Automobile talk....let's get back on topic of WR/TE please.
Grant DuBose made a nice open field tackle last night on ST's. He makes the 53!
I'm a little worried about Bo Melton. Dropping passes. Not attacking the ball like he did last season. The long pass from Clifford. He allowed the defender to get his hand in there instead of smacking it away & attacking the ball. I hope he "fixes" that.
WR Malik Heath: What could have been. On the first series, Heath was open deep and Sean Clifford missed him by inches. A completion would have resulted in either 1st-and-goal inside the 5-yard line or a walk-in touchdown. Think of the narrative had the Packers’ backups opened the game with a touchdown drive against the Broncos starting defense. Michael Pratt also missed Heath deep in the second half. Alas, Heath finished with three catches for 22 yards, including a conversion on third down.

Can either of them outrun a Pinto?
The real question is, can the Pinto outrun either of them?

Or the Pinto runs out of hay and grain.

This is a WR3 on teams tomorrow. The idea GBs room isn’t deep because it lacks S-tier guys is a way station for ball knowledge pic.twitter.com/pool3acTK1

I've seen several people express the opinion that DuBose is more likely to clear waivers than Heath. All sorts of difficult decisions for Gutey and Tuesday will be an interesting day.
Check out the guns on Reed...
One of the things MLF asks of his slot WRs is to be physical in the run game and so GB and others have drifted away from the Cobb-sized guys and looked for stouter WRs for the slot ( Lazard was very good in that role)
Reed has everything you want - quickness, speed, route running, exceptional hands and taking care of business at the LOS. Perfect fit

CeeDee Lamb will make a $38 million signing bonus.
The Packers seven wide receivers will make $7 million.

Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton, Grant DuBose, and Malik Heath - $32 million pic.twitter.com/5LxxvXPVYW
Lamb's contract probably signals the end of Dak's time in Dallas. Dak's cap hit this year is $55.5 million, and Lamb's contract kicks in next year. While the structure hasn't been released yet, Lamb's contract averages $34 million a year. Lamb this year is 7% of the team's cap at $18 million; Dak accounts for 21.6% of this year's cap; together, they total almost 29% of the team's cap. Dak, who is 31, would have to take a cut next year.
Good question!
