Now we have that big WR

[stillhardcore]

What do you guys think about Nick Westbrook-Ikhine? I never remember hearing of him and I see he ranked 7th in yards per catch and 9th in td's out of all WR's last season. 6'-2", 211 lbs., so he has some size. If he plays like last year with Will Levis, he should do better with Tua.

He's just ok. Nothing special. IMO.

 

[stillhardcore]

Apologies. I scrolled down recent threads and did not see one from last night on Westbrook.

IU football fan. Westbrook is a big bodied receiver who won’t beat many off the line but will make contested catches

Never seen the guy play. Seems like Rishard Matthews type from what everyone is saying.

 

[AquaBlissed888]

He's alright.. would rather a physical specimen that can break tackles but hey at least Nick isn't afraid to catch in traffic.

Didnt know mulch about him. In the highlight video of the other thread it seemed to be blown coverages than winning contested balls

 

[DuderinoN703]

No problem with the move. Still want some depth at WR.

I judge the WRs by a simple scale.. if Waddle or Hill goes down.. how much would divine intervention be required for them to perform? This guy doesn't move that needle.

I like this signing. He scored 9 TD's last year. I don't think he cost much either.

We need a WR with size who can line up outside allowing Hill to play in the slot sometimes where he might be able to exploit our opponents nickel corner easier than always going up against their number 1 DB.

I would still look to draft a WR in the later rounds. I am not convinced Ezukanma is ever going to amount to anything.

This. As I said in the other thread I like this signing if we use him properly. He adds a dimension we lacked, a 50/50 type WR with size. He need to be used in just certain roles, especially as a RZ target. Hopefully we don't ever see another corner fade in the EZ to a 5'8 Hill again.

He’s 28 years old so I don’t expect to much.. but we need a #4 and # 5

Question. How was the TENN WR room? Were there WRs like Waddle/TH how could help take focus off him, or was he #2?

Titan fans love him and are upset he left for that contract. Titans supposedly offered same deal but he is from Florida.

As Kyle Krabbs said he will be our new Mack Hollins
