Calvin Ridley lite?

Shifty.  Hopefully KOC can utilize the JJ & TJ side of the field to open up space for guys like Jordan to break down one on ones.

I would love to have Nailor taking the top off the defense, taking a safety out of the box. 

Plenty of weapons for KOC and Kirk to play with.

Really discouraging to see the effort from our 3rd round pick on that play, great moves by Addison, but just awful technique on the play by Blackmon, as a CB you have to hold your ground on the play and not allow yourself to get too tight and sucked in.

Can you imagine if we hit on 2 WRs in a row?

Its kind of why I chuckle just a little when I see some fans that think Osborn will beat out Addison for WR2. 

I was concerned his size would leave him susceptible to CB's jamming him at the line but he looks like he can juke them out of their shoes.  Crisp routes are huge.  Guys like Jalen Reagor and Cordarelle P. can't cut it at WR in this league despite their physical gifts, because they can't manage to be where the playcall says they need to be.

lets see if he can stay healthy for more than a minute before we crown him maybe?  KJ has proven that he can take a hit or two,  until now Addison has missed all of the offseason workouts with some sort of injury.  be nice if he can,  but its pretty early to be making any assumptions isnt it?

Heck I'll crown him: Jordan Addison, Mr. Mankato!  Lol.

Really? You've already made some assumptions. Did you see the video from KOC about Addison? Looks like he's made some as well. Who's more frail looking, JJ or Addison?...lmao. The 'assumptions' being made by the head coach is that Addison is very talented....same with me. That's the only crown anyone is placing on him. I have zero idea if the guy is injury-prone or not. 

I like KJ.....but doubling down that somehow he's a more talented WRer than Addison is just wrong. And if Addison is somehow an injury-prone WRer, well there's KJ to pick up the slack. So all good. But let's not act like Addison isn't a very talented dude. 

I bet KJO starts the season as #2 WR.  Jefferson didn't crack the starting lineup right away.  Neither did Moss.  A rookie not starting the season as the #2 would be pretty normal.

you said you were laughing at those placing KJ ahead of him to start the season,  I am just saying maybe save your laughter until he has taken a hit or two since to date he hadnt shown anything on the field due to being injured.  Nobody was saying he wasnt talented,  just saying he appears to be of frail build and his attendance to date hadnt proven otherwise.

and he would still need to show that he isnt a liability in the run game,  which I am going to guess a 175# guy could easily be.  a guy that is typically always on the field needs to be able to block a bit in the run game.
