Watching him catch 50/50 balls last year, during the preseason, told me the guy had the will to win those battles. To me, that's exactly what you want in a possession receiver, and that's what they've got. I instantly thought of Jordy Nelson, and how he cut his teeth on wrestling the ball away from defenders, making big plays, that moved the chains. I think Doubs brings a lot of that to the table.Will he be as good as Jordy? I can't say at this point, but from what I saw this past game, he made the possession catches for first downs, and was instrumental in keeping the chains moving. That's exactly what you want from the guy playing in his position.No doubt, his blocking skills need to improve. I actually think they already have, compared to early last year. He's digging in a little deeper, and getting upward thrusts against taller, heavier, players, instead of trying to block them straight out. Big guys will knock you out of the way, if you don't use leverage to make those blocks.</blockquote>
