It's usually been Robinson and Pringle.....so maybe? But I'm sure it can change depending on what other players they have in other positions.

Yeah, they've both played some, Pringle for sure. I don't remember Robinson on much other than Punt Return. Which......never went well.

[ModSocks]

Even with a strong camp i think he ends up as JuJu's backup, who will then eat into his snaps when JuJu underperforms and/or gets injured.

[RunKC]

I imagine Josh Williams and Jaylen Watson will both play ST’s. Chenab will definitely.

That’s pretty much your replacements right?

I think all the new secondary players, there should be bodies for ST.

I hope Leo gets a spot on a coverage team, at least for a few coverages.

He might dead somebody.

As a rookie, Tyreek started one game. One.

KC had nothing at WR other than Maclin, who somehow hit the brick wall at the ripe old age of 28. . So Hill got 83 targets, 61 completions. 9.7 y/r. So what does that tell us?

Hill had a package, that package grew as the season went on because let's face it, Hill is a physical freak and the fastest man in football-especially then. But 9.7 p/r tells us that's a lot of WR screens and stuff designed to get Hill the ball outside of the box.

let's not pretend that Hill was the Tyreek Hill of 2019 right out of the gate.

Should these kids have some production? Sure. They DO have vets in front of them that aren't bums, and so in that way, they don't have the advantage Hill had as a rookie. This team is in an entirely different place.

They'll have packages to begin with, and those packages will expand as the season goes on, and that I'm fairly certain of. Injuries to Juju, MVS, or Hardman would change that.

I could see Ross in a 'big' goal to go package where he can just post up on a smaller CB.

That's Tyreek's rookie season rec stats. Frankly that's what I'm also judging JuJu and MVS by too. The question in my mind is how many of our WRs amass that?

I would think the expectations would be:
- Kelce and Hardman to produce similar to LY
- MVS to be a YOY wash with Pringle
- CEH/Jones to be a YOY wash with Total RB
- JuJu to produce to estimated production

2021 (rec yards/rec TD)
- Hill 1239/9
- Kelce 1125/9
- Hardman 693/2
- Pringle 568/5
- D Will 452/2
- D Rob 264/3
- A/O 450/7
- Team 4791/37

2022
- JuJu 1000/7
- Kelce 1125/9
- Hardman 693/2
- MVS 568/5
- CEH/Jones 452/2
- A/O 264/3
- Moore 450/7
- Team 4552/35

I wonder what the Giants discussion boards were like when discussing Victor Cruz back in the summer of 2011.

If Patrick wants him, he'll be on the team

Literally all Ross has to do is show up to the stadium on game days and he will be a pro bowler

I cited those numbers because if they get the opportunity (targets). I think they can do that, which would be fantastic.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Ross and Moore are really nice additions. Hard not to be excited.

[kccrow]

Ross is AJ Green-like when healthy. I'm stoked as **** about him. Just hope the hell he can stay out of the tub (or off a stretcher).
