He also mixed in with the starters yesterday. So it really does seem like he's making a strong case and with him being a different receiver to the others that may give him an advantage.
I don't think there's gonna be a Rice suspension this year, dawg. I don't get what the deal is or what other evidence they need to collect. He drove like a maniac. I don't know what more there is for the NFL to investigate. If they're waiting for his official trial, that's not until December, which would mean the NFL is probably just going to wait until the following season. They did it for Kamara, and they'll probably do it here. [Reply]

Andy Reid does not covet large receivers. Rice is actually not short, though. Avg by NFL WR standards. [Reply]

fiat daily driver? Like, a Fiat that is expected to start and go places EVERY day? Seems optimistic to me….. like a healthy Kadarius Toney. [Reply]

I was thinking sky moore. Toney’s like a 89 iroc with lt1 if that opti spark says it’s going it’ll go. But it may leave you stranded in the burnout box (or first punt drill of training camp) [Reply]

I trust Skyy Moore to suck less than Kadarius Toney. Kadarius Toney has a high probability to be a Pinto whereas Moore has a high probability to be a Ford Tempo. Shitty but at least you won't breakdown and die in the desert or blow up. [Reply]

Dwayne Bowe…but he may develop into Deandre Hopkins or even Andre Johnson.

Andy has talked about how he likes to mix up the matchups early in camp to see where guys are at. I’m sure every receiver has ran with the 1s at points in camp already so the position coaches have tape to coach with in film review.
Justyn needs to have a top notch camp and show something in PS opportunities to have a chance at making the roster. I’m pulling for him, but he definitely has an uphill battle ahead of him. [Reply]

Last year the reoccurring theme was wondering who was going to step up amongst the WR's. In TC the only clear favorite was KD because he was the most talented. Him and Skyy did get the first nod. But there was no clear standout until Rice emerged later during the season.
This year Wortthy is setting camp on fire. Then you have Hollywood making really nice plays, Rice is picking up where he left off, and oh yeah there's still HOF Travis Kelce looking like he's 25. The new back up Wiley has flashed multiple times as well.
So to answer your question basically yes. The explosive plays are on full display. That in itself is a huge difference.
Good luck to defenses if they want to play off these quick WR's. These guys can all cut and make a man miss. Last year... we really struggled in that regard. Not to mention drops (Toney,) some guys were lost (Skyy), and some just couldn't track the football (MVS.)
All I'm saying is undefeated 3peat. I'm not setting the bar too high either. [Reply]

It's only been a few practices, but it appears the LT competition has been figured out. It also feels like Reid and Mahomes are comfortable with the decision. [Reply]
