[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 565445"] There are two overlooked aspects to being an NFL wide receiver highlighted in this piece: 1) A WR must learn to read defenses. 2) A WR has to get on the same page with his QB...in this case, with an elite veteran, that means seeing the defense the way the QB sees it. In other words, see 1) above. There are option routes in the playbook to start with, and then there are adjustments that need to made that are not in the playbook, as Rodgers noted. Failing to correctly read a defense will result in interceptions. Interceptions lose games. That's why the requirements are stated in no uncertain terms. But clearly, it's a matter of degree. The "mind meld" will not be perfect on every snap of every game. But there is a minimum threshold of the acceptable frequency of error. And errors are often minimized by limiting the players route tree. For instance, McCarthy was adding to Nelson's route tree at least as recently as 2011. The point being, a guy like Janis might make the team based on potential, but he's come out of a small college, he's had little practice time, and still less with the first team, so it's hard to see him getting more than very occasional spot duty in year 1. It takes a year or two even for many first round picks to get the hang of it and get productive. I'd like to see him return more punts in these last 2 preseason games. He's big and fast...maybe a little gunner work. Special teams would be a leg up. [/QUOTE]
