Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 564568">Playing in a dome this week vs. last week's monsoon should give us a better look at the receiver contenders.I'll be interested to see what Janis looks like between the field numbers.  Corner fades and one-move-and-go routes, in practice no less, which entail soft balls in perimeter space, are one thing.  Breaks, routes, hands, run-after-catch and at least some modicum of fearlessness...a receiver must pass minimum NFL thresholds in each of these areas to make it.If a guy cannot do some work in the middle of the field the opposition will figure that out and NFL cornerbacks will just take away the outside.I'd like to see Janus run a couple of slants, maybe do some slot work...something where he has to run under linebackers or safeties so we can get a look at where he's at with middle-of-field skills.I'm reminded of Tory Gurley, another big receiver/fan fave rave from a recent preseason.  While certainly not the speedster that Janis is, it was a 6 catch preseason game if I recall correctly that got some fans revved up.But it turned out he was slow out of his breaks and looked more like an undersized TE running routes.  I think it was when Flowers strolled in front of him for an effortless pick on a molasses-like break that sealed his fate.</blockquote>
