#2 wr and #3 WR this week

[WPBtoRNOFinFan]

Due to Booker's injury, will Hagan get the nod as the starter and Welker remain with the slot and returning duties?

I love Welker, he is one hell of a player, but the way he plays is most effective from the slot versus the #2 WR spot. What are your guys thoughts on this?

I agree with Hagan at the #2 spot and leaving Welker in the slot. We could also use more TE sets to get Randy involved. With our #2 guy out someone really has to step it up this week. If RB is going to have a good game this would be the week to have it.

I think if Welker plays #2 wr then someone else will have to handle the return duties. Therefore it makes more sense to keep Welker #3 and returning and move Hagen up to #2. The problem is Hagen hasn't really done anything to earn the #2 spot. Here's hoping he steps it up big time in the game situation.

this would be a good game to see what hagan can do, as well as S mitchell if he can come back from injury as well as lehan cus daniels has a knee injury
can we bring back will poole or is he on IR?

Doesn't make any sense to me to move Welker from a position he is used to playing and has been excelling in. It's not like he'd be on the field that much more, he's already in the lineup a lot.

Replace Booker with Hagan and see what he can do.

And for god's sake if he doesn't do much in the game don't start calling him a bust already. It takes most WRs a little while to hit their stride in the NFL, including a lot of the best.

Its more by default than anything else. He is just filling a gap till Booker gets back. It not like he is our permanant #2 guy.

Welker isn't a millionare. He's near or at the bottom of the 53 man roster.

I say Hagan starts, and Welker keeps the #3/PR/KR duties. No sense in downgrading multiple positions, when you can just downgrade one. Welker gets a bit of playing time as it as at #3.

 

[Tony305]

you guys put too much emphasis on #2 #3... welker is playing out of the slot so well, why take him out of that position? and give Hagan a chance before u bash him, seriously..

Welker isn't a millionare. He's near or at the bottom of the 53 man roster.

And I'd say JT and ZT play their hearts out quite a bit, no?

 

[PhinsRock]

Welker is staying at #3 slot receiver, not a negative reflection on him, rather a positive one as Saban wants Welker in the slot and in PR/KR. And Welker is more open and more reliable when needed for 3rd downs in #3 slot.

 

[PHINBRED]

i don't like Booker. he is always falling and dropping balls.:fire:

he can stay out of the line up.

i agree hagan #2 and welker slot b/c welker is so comftorable there and is a better slot than a #2 guy.
