Moving Gilleylen to RB a bad move

The thinking might be check down receiver.

I think Curenski's problem is not about his hands and maybe more about his mental focus. He was supposed to be one of our more talented receivers since years ago, including having good hands. But he hasn't put it together on the field. Whether that's a product of constantly getting the hook, I don't know. But 'gamer' is something he hasn't been, as when he's been in the spotlight he has made all sorts of miscues, including slip-slidin' all over the place. It is really too bad because I thought he would turn into something great.

Curenski's receiving stats for past 3 seasons....scored 1 TD in past 3 seasons.

had some injury issues in 2010 and never saw the field that i know off or at least never touched the ball...running back seems like a stretch to me with all the new talent coming in.

His lack of production at receiver is more or less why I'm completely ok with him being moved to running back. He's had 3 lackluster years, I doubt the switch was going to magically flip on in year 4. I'm good with giving him a shot at running back if he's not going to see the field at receiver.

I think this has more to do with our lack of depth at RB for the spring. With the coaches keeping Rex's touches down, there's only a couple of RB's on the roster. Sure we'll have some new guys come fall, but right now we're pretty darn thin.
