2023 Round 5 pick #159 Dontayvion Wicks

[Poppa San]

4 receiver sets aren't so sickening if wr's #3 and #4 are pretty good and the qb can get rid of the ball quickly with accuracy. It can create mismatches against a teams worst secondary players. If wr's #3 and 4 are mediocre, then it can lead to picks or sacks. If Packer TE's take time to develop, the 4 wr set will make its appearance.

The only reason you see 4 WR sets is something bad happened before then. 3rd and really long or playing ketchup and needing to score a lot late in the game. The only time I WANT to see it is in 2minute offense at end of first half.

Eventually with Musgraves athletic profile I would prefer three WRs with him able to serve flexed out…till then I suspect Deguara could easily do that too.

I just happened to see that play where Deguara ran for a TD off a Love pass. He actually looked pretty quick for a big guy. I just didn’t remember him being that spry at all. He might not be Tonyan as a Receiver, but I agree he is serviceable level

I vote for Aaron Jones to flex out in that scenario

I didn’t realize that Lazard took such a high number of last years Slot at 38%, which was similar to Cobb if I remember correctly. I think we will plan on using Musgrave more in that Y respect as he’s a total mismatch for LB’s and many Safeties.

Wicks is going to get some rotational snaps as that Z Receiver until he’s more seasoned and can prove that 2022 was more an anomaly.

Teams that lack a running threat may do it more. And if the opponent has a very porous secondary and sub par pass rush a team may line up with it more. But you are correct. In 2011 we used it effectively. But then we had more weapons than we knew what to do with.

It had to happen. Cobb, Doubs, and Watson missed time to a good degree.
