It probably would have been 32 if it weren't for McKnight's YAC..

The #3 WR in this system is the slot receiver. To put McKnight's speed and inconsistent hands into the slot would be a bad move. We signed Thompson to provide that. Don't expect this team to have clearly defined #2 and #3 WR roles. McKnight and Thompson will be switching based on their strengths. I could see Thompson and McKnight both playing in 2 WR sets and then Thompson (and even Chambers some this year) to slide into the slot.
Chambers and McKnight starting together should boost each other simply by the fact it's 2 very fast guys that CB's have to deal with. Remember how the coaches said Chambers was really catching on towards the end of the season? Any coincidence that was the time McKnight was inserted?

Only showing you another side of the story..he could be worst..luckily he wasn't and he did provide us some playmaking ability..go back and look at last year's film once he started starting and you'll see what I mean..To be honest..I'm kind of excited by him starting..I really think you will see an improved Receiving Corps..Starting with McKnight.

I wish all our WR's could have McKnights ability to make YAC.
I hope so. I love his speed, but his hands make me nervous.Originally posted by MDFINFAN

Unfortunately, I can't go back and look at last year's film. Living in Southern California, I only get to see about 6 games a year - full national telecasts and any games vs Raiders & Chargers or if they are playing FOX's NFC flavor of the month. Maybe he just sucked big time in those six games.

:shout: Why would any on the thread like James McKnight. He SHOULD NOT be the 3rd WR. HE SUCKS! He drops too many passes and the only thing he has going for him is his speed. BUT WHAT GOOD IS SPEED IF YOU DONT FINISH YOUR ROUTES?! I really dont like McKnight at all! I have season tickets for the last 5 years and last year i watched what he did and it was crap. He's been in the league for 9 years with 3 different team and YET to make a difference on any team. THE ONLY reason he made a difference on this team what-so-ever last season is because no one else could! Gadsden was gone, Chambers wasnt the same after the head injury, and Ward flat out sucked! This guy is no good and we need to get him off our team!
:judge:
MCDROP --- :splat:

So true. He takes 5-10 yard catches and turns them into 20+'s. That's something Chambers needs to learn is to break those tackles and get those extra yards.
As for the 27th ranking do you really believe we would have been that low with Jay for the full year and McKnight starting over Orende? Could have gotten an average ranking then.

Could the problem with the dropped passes be a result of poor QBing more so than bad WRing????....
QB J. Fiedler is not the most accurate QB around, and half the time he either underthrows, or overthrows. The WR has to adjust to the QB, and it's tough to do with an inaccurate QB like J. Fiedler....
I think if you put WR J. McKnight in the Rams offense, you'd have one very dangerous WR.

Errrrrrr wrong answer. This kid has been with 2 other teams and had the same problems. I personally watched him blow it time and time again here in Dallas. He's fast alright but just can't put it together. Why do you think we gave him the nickname "McDrops"?
Sounds like McDonald's latest creation...Originally posted by MDFINFAN
I really thinks he became Mc YACs last year...
