Yeah, I can't see Tre'mon making it. He brings no value at other positions and Pringle, Hardman and Thompson can pick up his snaps in the return game.

He won't be unemployed long though, as I'm sure there will be multiple teams that need a return man (cough Bengals)

I think you keep Watkins in the short game to utilize his size and YAC (he was PFFs #1 short yardage receiver last year). Kelce remains the intermediate threat (see last night) and dominates middle of the field/first down markers. Hill is going deep and taking off the top/safety coverage, he just requires two defenders every play at this point. Hardman should be the one to do all the pre-snap motions to diagnose the defense and give him end arounds/screens/deep balls. Damien/Darwin can just late-release out into space for a safe but effective checkdown if need be. Robinson is at his best during the broken plays/improv routes for when we need to give Hardman a rest from his 22+mph sprinting he’ll be doing all game.

I don’t see how any defense in history has the personnel to address these matchups.

He looks like he belongs on the field. That's a good sign.


Usually the eyes don't lie. I remember everyone jacking off Baldwin, when in reality he looked slow as fuck, couldn't break in his routes for shit.

Hardman looks fluid.

Baldwin looked like his feet were encased in concrete blocks. I don't think I've ever seen anybody, WR or TE who was worse at accelerating off the line. Antonio Gates at 40 years old looked smoother and more athletic than he did.

The kid looked good. Great body control not going down after initial contact on the one catch. Really good vision on the sweep and the speed did not disappoint.

If he keeps progressing at this pace, he will get some meaningful snaps.

I keep envisioning Reek lined on one side and Hardman on the other for a double reverse jet sweep...

Hardman reminds me of a young Jerry Rice

Litton looked better than Shurmur to me. Hopefully they can stash him on the practice squad.

I loved the jet sweep play last night.

And working off of that, and maybe even more deadly, the faked double reverse with Kelce and Watkins going deep and/or Thompson on the wheel route.

Let's just hope he can take a hit because we don't need anymore Watkins disease in our WRs.

The Chad Johnson-OchoCinco comparison seems to hold water.

Seems to have elite speed, quickness and great vision.
