Yep...well that plus most of the time we'll be in a 3 WR set anyway
They'll move around and share responsibilities... but in general we'll have the X receiver who is your bully, the Z receiver who runs a lot of deep routes, and the Y who mostly works inside. It's football 101.
I realize that some posters will immediately get pedantic when they read that and start bringing up exceptions and trying to muddle the basic positions, so I'll say this again... these are the BASIC responsibilities and players do move around in order to create confusion, but in the long run... players have areas in which they excel, and placing a player in his best position for success is the responsibility of the coach and o.c.
Parker is the X, Fuller is the Y, Williams backs up both. Our slot is the position in question, and as much as I believe that Chase is a full tier above Smith and Waddle, he's an X.
...and this is why I'm not keen on a WR at 1a, and I won't warm to the idea.
