I don't disagree at all. Just that Drake is a RB and is going to be better at taking a hit. I might put him back there if I need to make something happen - he ran some nice ones last year. He also got popped a few times where I was like, "damn!" - I think we'll see him back there situationally.
Not to be a naysayer, but he still missed a pretty catchable ball last night, or he would've had another 60 yards and 6 points. There's a lot to like about Grant, but I just think those hands are still gonna be a problem.
Yup, I agree, that play shows not only speed, but great balance, Gase is going to have to find ways of getting him in the offense, he is too explosive not to.

Agree... I see 4 wide formation 3 stack wide side + Grant (all alone) on the other... Talk about speed and big play monsters -- Grant Parker Stills & Landry on the field at the same time! Put the train in 1 back -- or for more insane speed add Drake and... Could be pretty near impossible to deal with!!!

Will the line be able to deal with long patterns without a TE in to help block?
I think that the guy, if he plays to his potential, will earn a third string position either this season or the next. He is a diamond in the rough for sure. What legs on that speedster. Yeah!
My favorite Grant highlight.
I doubted Grant, but glad to see he stepped up and earned his spot on the roster. Hope he can put some points on the board this season.

Doesn't have to be long patterns 7 step drop -- point is if Grant gets off LOS clean he's a HR threat with the ball in his hands + space!

Watching the Bokamper interview with Grant....
on practicing catching punts every day - "I won't leave the field until i feel it's second nature to me"
one more snippet (slight paraphrase)...
"Kenny and Jarvis told me if you make big plays on special teams, then they will say 'Maybe we could try him on offense' and I always kept that in the back of my head. I worked on perfecting catching punts, no matter what, when it's raining or anything, they can always put me in. I didn't want to let these guys down that were supporting me"
I miss the finsiders but at least we have this podcast, not alot of real substance on our team site since the finsiders went away.

4 WR set...Stills and Grant on the outside with Parker and Landry inside. Spread em out and chuck it. (Keep a RB or TE in to chip) Good luck covering these guys. Nice to actually see guys being developed.
Good luck to our pass protection. There's a reason we only ran 4 receiver sets 6% of the time last year.
