[QUOTE="Speedy14, post: 668303, member: 9956"] I'm a huge fan of Janis making it! However, you have to rewind back to the knee jerk reaction from GB Special Teams melt down in the NFC Championship Game the year prior... from MM basically saying, 'We need to have focus on Special Teams...' The results were, MM stepping down from play calling to take on a more holistic approach of trying to fix all the holes on the team (ST, Def., and some Off.). Remember, they drafted for defense and ST that year; Monty who was a special teams stud out of college, and they put Janis as speed demon on KO returns and KO/punt coverages. Did Janis really have time (or commitment) as WR with him being the #1 Special Teamer? And, was it in MM's focus to move Janis up to #3, or #4 WR, when they were so desperately needing to fix ST? I think the answer is no. In the Card game, you saw in the end of how gassed he was? The guy was flat out of breath! If you watch the re-air of it, MM talks about what they asked of him was way beyond any player had ever done, almost King James epic like. In that game he was a 4-down player, on every play, and there was no resting him. I take my hat off in respect. Not did he have to run down the field on the plays, but he had to run back to the line of scrimmage (all go routes in the end). So, the question of the day, is he an one game wonder, or is the sky the limit? I don't know, and I don't know what MM's priorities will be on the team this coming year (fluid situation)? Is there enough swagger on ST to get'er done without him, so he focus on being a top tier WR? Or, is he doomed to put out more fires on ST, and will only be able to support, sparingly as WR? IMO, I think we have to wait for training camp to play out in injuries, and who and where the studs are from preseason situation on ST, and does Janis make the leap if given the opportunity at #3, or #4 WR? Remember, it is not always what is best for Janis as a WR, but what is best for the whole team where they need him...I'm hoping he gets the chance and more importantly he RUNS (4.3) through the door!
