[QUOTE="LarrysCrookedFinger, post: 668149, member: 11393"] Yes, he was pretty much handed a roster spot on a golden platter and got a quick ticket to to playing time and he did very little with it once they put him there. He had 3 catches in one game, 4 in another and was Mr. Invisible the rest of the time. You're right. And it is for that very reason that with Abbrederis, pretty much is what he is. He doesn't have a whole lot of upside left to exploit, unless he finds a way to increase his athletic ability. Football isn't chess. You have to be smart, but you have to be an athlete too, and that is where he is limited. Both players have their limitations at this moment, but the limitations Janis has are more easily (and are being) overcome than Abbrederis's limitations. What's your point? Guys at the bottom half of the depth chart are always asked to contribute on special teams. Ask the guys he's been burning in practice, like Shields, Randall and C-D if [I]they [/I]think he belongs on the roster. BTW, it's the very fact that Abbrederis [I]doesn't [/I]contribute much to special teams that puts him on the bubble with Davis. Look I know some fans still dream of Abbrederis starting this year, but here's why he's on the bubble, pure and simple: Nelson, Cobb: No explanation needed. Adams: High draft pick, unlikely they will dump him, also reportedly played hurt much of last year. Janis: Special teams beast and is the only real alternative to Adams for the outside spot opposite Nelson. Montgomery: Looked good until he got hurt and has a ton of versatility. Davis: This will be who he is competing against for a spot unless they keep 7 WRs, which I doubt will happen. [/QUOTE]
