With Terry gone because of off the field problems, the final WR spot will be between Hart, Thompson, Wedington, Fuller, and Ursua.

Swain and Johnson are 4 and 5

DK
Lock
Eskridge
Swain
Johnson

My expectation as well. Based on the apparent emphasis on tempo, faster delivery of passes to reduce sack rates etc. Seems the team has aligned it's philosophy for pass protection by getting open quicker. Evidence based on who we hired as OC, Getting Everett at TE. Quicker than fast WR additions in lieu of really good/great options in an epic deep OL class. Trade for Jackson at LG.

The multitude of moves we've made all suggest we may see a quite radically different offensive strategy than we've held to in the past. It would follow that we'll have a lot more slot type talents running crossers/digs, seam routes and blitz beaters.

Unless they need bodies for practice reps anyone not playing special teams is on a short list I think with Eskridge a return guy and probably a gunner of some sort as well.

Oh' come on 63. Gordon is no where to be found in any WR room or anywhere on any roster. He's but a distraction. A diversion. A tease. A mesmerizing fantasy.

In short ....... Chum Bate.

Not all Chum bait is bad, now if Gordon went all in like this I think we would be happy.
