Avernus Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 this site usually only adjusts their depth charts according to the type of offense being run, as you'll see some teams run more 2 TE sets and they adjust accordingly.... this shows a change from what they usually had...being Boldin and Fitz...now they have added B Johnson as a starter in addition to the other 2.... I could be wrong, maybe somebody can make better sense of this to me?.. http://www.fantasyinsights.com/fantasy/depth.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 If I had 3 good, young WRs and a rotten TE, it's what I'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 If I had 3 good, young WRs and a rotten TE, it's what I'd do. 915246[/snapback] basically, but this all depends on how good their OL actually is....I like what they have on OL...but is it that good that they can just disregard the TE?.... plus I noticed that Warner doesn't like throwing to the TE from what I recall from him as a Ram... I was wondering if this was a showing of Johnson showing he's ready to step up...they could have a very deadly attack if the blocking does well and he loses that "deer in the headlights" look at times... but then again...a damaged thumb is a damaged thumb as I always says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 plus I noticed that Warner doesn't like throwing to the TE from what I recall from him as a Ram... 915251[/snapback] Hit Shockey 35 times for 4 tds in 9 games in NY. I'd say the Rams TEs were talent-deficient more than any sort of issue with Warner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't recall hearing much from Shockey until Eli came in and started hitting him as a safety valve... if I was Green, I'd at least consider the TE as an extra blocker for Warner since he seems to get shook quite easily...but that's no reason to have a talent like Johnson ride the pine when he easily deserves some PT...

That's why I'm around. if I was Green, I'd at least consider the TE as an extra blocker for Warner since he seems to get shook quite easily...but that's no reason to have a talent like Johnson ride the pine when he easily deserves some PT... 915260[/snapback] Ayanbadejo is their FB; I'd assume they'd run RB/FB/3 WR and use the FB as a pass-blocker - or they may just go with a one-back set with 3 WR and a TE. There's all sorts of ways to skin the 3-WR set cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hit Shockey 35 times for 4 tds in 9 games in NY. I'd say the Rams TEs were talent-deficient more than any sort of issue with Warner. 915253[/snapback] Did Warner have another option to throw to in NY? NO. and NO. I don't think the TE ever enters Warner's head if he has a WR or two to throw to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an elite pass-catching group? No, but the cupboard was hardly bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizards Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Come on...West Coast "O"--simple..yet effective when you have 3 good WR's...operative word here is "good"...of course the QB has to be better than average..Warner is no Manning(Peyton or Eli)...but I rate he higher than Vick in delivering the ball to the WR's in this format...jury is out...could go either way if blocking is there...Arizona could have a huge offensive year...otherwise get ready for Denny Green to see PR rep Mrs. Warner in news conferences saying her husband is being mistreated and showed no love..Warner's last chance IMO..no excuse not to deliver with the talenty around him now...Arrington will also be a key...teams can't put 7-8 in the box vs. Arrington if you have 3 WR sets....like a Magnavox...Smart very Smart!!

Chavez Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 IIRC, Denny Green ran one-back sets with 3 WR and a TE for the most part in Minny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an elite pass-catching group? No, but the cupboard was hardly bare. 915294[/snapback] Toomer was solid for many years. Solid and consistent. His numbers dropped off because of Manning, not because of him. OK, Hilliard is not a great 2nd WR, but like Chavez mentions, Barber was another fine weapon out of the backfield.
