His longest reception was 52 yards. I realize that is a small sample size but in terms of comparison to the top receivers last regular season: Of the top 10 in receptions only 3 had higher per catch averages. 7 of the top 10 in total receiving yards had higher averages with a collective 15.3 ypc. That's less than 1.5 ypc more than Boykin's average. (Nelson’s average was only 1.6 ypc more.) Again I realize it’s a small sample size for Boykin – he tied for 76th in receptions in the league - and I'm certainly not saying Boykin is a speedster, I'm just with those who believe it's not that important.I agree with HRE, McCarthy’s offense isn’t pure WCO and the long fake handout followed by a Rodgers extremely deep drop followed by (usually a pass to Jordy) is a good example. But I don’t think adding possession receivers translates into trying to turn Rodgers into a pocket passer. When he slides out of the pocket all that is required is a receiver getting open and of course they don’t need elite speed to do that.</blockquote>
