I'm sure LaFleur certainly appreciates a WR who can block well and if he had his druthers he'd have a whole stable of great WRs who are also great blockers. But at the same time I am also quite certain that if you gave LaFleur the choice between:1. A WR who is an elite playmaker (be that by route-running, speed, physicality, catching ability, etc) but an average blocker or 2. A WR who is an average playmaker but an elite blockerI am confident he (and every other coach in the league) would pick #1 over #2 every single time without hesitation. I don't know, maybe I've read LaFleur wrong but I get the sense that a WR's blocking ability is for him a nice cherry on top but it's not a first-order essential quality. If you've got two identical wide receivers and one is a better blocker then of course you'd prefer that guy, but a WR's blocking ability shouldn't outweigh his pass-catching or playmaking skills in any way. Don't mean to sound silly but it is called wide *receiver* after all, not wide blocker, lol</blockquote>
