Why isn't Trey Burton #1 WR on depth chart?
Forget all that wildcat and slot stuff for him. We're plenty deep in the backfield. That's what he will be playing in the NFL - right? aka Hines Ward the 2nd. Smart, physical, playmaker, great hands, gets open, makes people miss, blocks on the edge, runs through and over people, and I've never seen him get caught from behind, so fast enough. I've read his forty time is anywhere between a 4.42 and a 4.8. Dunno on that, just what I see on the field, which is that he is more than fast enough.
This seems so obvious to me. Seems to me we could plug a big hole in the offense and make it a strength with one easy decision to split him out every play. He could still jet sweep from there. Big Trey fan. I just think he could be a monster at receiver full time.

I will say I think we should see him a few more snaps a game in the wildcat. Good things just seem to happen when he handles the ball

One thing is for certain and that is we should ditch the wildcat

I expect Burton to be used even more next year, taking over the Hines role in addition to his own, maybe even getting some of those tight end screens that went to Reed. But he won't be a wide receiver. Don't post while drinking.

Speed has precious little to do with the single wing stuff. What matters far more is the ability to read the defense and set up blocks with patience.

Jeff might be worse at making the reads, like how Jordan Reed had problems reading defense.

I wanted Burton to run the ball 5 or 6 times a game more often that he did. I like the ball in his hands.

Because TB is much better between tackles. It also gives the D something different to think about. I actually like the play. He has had some big games for us and his experience will be huge this year and having him on the field just for the leadership is a big plus.

The term "crowd" would imply a group. I know of no such crowd. Kid can ball.

doesn't really matter who is listed as #1 WR. The "issue" is that QB #1 struggles to get them the ball, no matter if they are 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.
