Title says it all...he has been seeing the field more and more. Will Chad find him for some big plays versus the Broncos?
 
He's clearly on an ascending schedule as far as his role on the team is concerned. You could see week to week them pushing him closer to getting on the field on offense and this last week he finally got his first catch...so I would really expect his role to continue to increase as he's got the body and the RAC ability to serve an important function in this offense.
 
i don't think he'll make an impact in this game,but i think he'll get some catches and continue to contribute on ST...
 
He's already had an impact on several games on STs and in the Texans game I think it was, he had a heck of a block on Patrick Cobbs' big screen touchdown. More and more they've been getting him on the field on offense to block in certain packages, and now he's got his first catch. If he catches more than one pass he'll have had an impact on this game. I'd love to see him run up the seam.
 
Well look at this with Champ gone

Dre' Bly 5-10 188 wont be on him will probably be on Ginn
Domonique Foxworth 5-11 180

London is 6-4 210 ...........its just a mismatch just IMO have him run a skinny post i see a big play or two out of him a big catch and a seal block that lets Ronnie or Ricky go for a long run.
 
I have'nt seen that much of London so does he only go in on 3/4 receiver sets, as I'd imagine it would be too much of a gamble putting him in there ahead of either Camarillo or Ginn in a two receiver passing down?

Absolutely, and Jack Williams is even smaller at 5'9" and 186 pounds. A big WR definitely has a role to play in an offense like ours, especially one that can get RAC...it's just been a very unfortunate reality that Ernest Wilford has been very disappointing, Hagan isn't a RAC kind of guy, and neither of them plays special teams.

Brandon London has this opportunity because he plays special teams and blocks really well. He's worked his way up and now he's getting involved in the passing offense, and I've seen him make some RAC plays in preseason that really interest me...plus Giants camp-goers kept pointing out that basically every day Brandon London made a RAC play that really grabbed everyone's attention.

That's a good point....but put him in on 3 receiver sets. You could move Camarillo to the slot and he will draw more attention to that area leaving London one-on-one on the outside. Or put London in the slot and have him matched versus a linebacker(MISMATCH) the Broncos 4th CB(MISMATCH) or a safety(MISMATCH).

There is simply an opportunity this weekend and he seems very willing to take advantage of all those opportunities given to him.
 
He was getting more time and might have made an impact in the future if it wasn't for Ginn's performance last week. The team was only looking for additional receivers because Ginn wasn't producing. After last week, I don't expect London to be much in the mix at all...at least as long as Ginn continues to produce. (I will give that he may get a fade route in the end zone just to see if he can use his size...)

Yeah Ginn had a break out game and i hope it is a trend of things we will see week in and week out. But even though Ginn did play extremely well i still think the receiving core can get better Cam is a shifty good hands reliable receiver. I just see something out of London in the near future. I think Ginns performance helps out London more than it hurts him.

Foxworth left for Atlanta before the season began. As bad as it sounds Karl paymah is our 2nd CB for this game and is 6'0 195lbs. He is definatley physical but sucks nonetheless.

The coaches will come up with a package that includes Brandon London. The package creates mismatches just like the wildcat does. Clearly, it will not be as effective as wildcat, but it will be effective. London is a very aggressive blocker. He needs to catch one or two passes a game to keep the defense honest on his package. If he does that, then the running out of that package will be very effective. A WR that blocks well that can catch is worth gold!!!

Well then they need to take Fowworth off your depth chart

I disagree (to an extent.)

I truly believe Sparano and Parcells are grooming him to be our #1 or #2 WR.

He has the size and speed to make Ginn more productive (drawing double coverage onto him.)

Camarillo is doing a great job, but London can really be so much more.

I think by December London will be our #2, with Camarillo in the slot as #3. (Yea, might be a bit optimistic of me.)

London is that big target we need to help move the chains, and assuming he can catch, he will be hard to defend. (Especially with Fasano and/or Martin on thefield at the same time.)

Will Sunday be his breakout game? Probably not, but you never know.

I do think that game is coming, and I think it will be sooner rather than later.
