Fall Camp Updates - Receivers & Tight Ends

DPE has apparently been working at an outside receiver spot. Lindsey was occupying that spot today.

 
De’Mornay Pierson-El and Tyjon Lindsey look like similar players. That’s a compliment to Lindsey, who will stun some poor corner with his speed, and he's good after the catch. Lindsey's not a big in-practice yapper; he's business-like. He'll play, frequently. Pierson-El looks fast, too — healthy, after two years of foot and knee ailments. DPE has long been an elite athlete and an intense guy, and his mindset — to try to enjoy the senior year — is the right one for him. The better those two stretch the field and get a safety’s attention, the more tight ends get open, the more Stanley Morgan gets room on a dig route. Morgan is all the things wideouts coach Keith Williams says he is: tough, strong, not afraid. But when Morgan leaves his feet, he'll have to win more of the 50-50 balls. I didn’t see a lot of Bryan Reimers’ plays; Williams is a big fan.

These are the threads that start getting my hopes up. I really like this group og receivers. Not only do I feel they all have good games, I think we see some other threats emerge.

 
I feel like we have had 1 great receiver each year and 1 guy that was close - problem was that we never had enough to out-stretch the DB's by one. I feel like our 3rd and 4th receiver will be able to expose the 3rd or 4th DB. If TL is capable of the proper reads this could be fun to watch!!!!

Yup, and it helps our DBs in camp as well. Those position battles are going to be intense in the coming years.
 
Maybe not as much height and 'stretch' physically but I believe we'll be speedier and quicker and harder to tackle in the open field. "YAC" should improve dramatically.

 
Eric Crouch thinks our best WRs - in order - are DPE, Morgan then Spielman. Said Spielman had a great day. He thought he's easily ahead of Tyjon right now.

Said McQuitty had a case of the drops today.

Receivers seem to be the most frequent of position groups to be injured during fall camp with pulled muscles, groins and etc... a lot of running and reps in fall camp compared to other position groups.

 
Back in the day, they used to say that muscle pulls and so on were the result of inadequate and half hearted stretching before and after working out. I have sometimes notice the seeming lack of intensity and focus in the stretching and loosening up of pregarme warm ups and videos of practice, etc. I don't get to see much but maybe some on here get to see more practices, etc and feel otherwise.
