WR situation

[BisonNation11]

They have used him as a fullback quite a bit these last few games. I have thought he has played that position very well. Hoping they are setting something up where they use him out of that position. Could be an unaccounted for player out of the backfield.

Yes and no. Gray is 6'3" tall, but only 183 lbs. In comparison, Vraa is 6'2" and 181, which looks generous to me. I think Gray is a bit like Corrdarrel Patterson for the Vikings. Tall and week and simply not able to get off the LOS and into his route clean enough to be where he is supposed to be. He has to get bigger and stronger in my opinion to become a difference maker.

Have you even seen Cordarrelle Patterson? That is about most uninformed thing I've seen here lately, and there has been a lot. He is a DUDE. He is 6'2'' 220lbs and built like a RB. "Tall and week" eh? Patterson just sucks at route running.

I didn't key on him, but wasn't there was a play where he split out wide and he motioned into the backfield as a FB? If my memory is right, he made an outstanding block on that play.

Yes. He was in at fb several times from what I remember.

Agree. I would really like to see Morlock get more touches. He's a smart elite athlete and needs to be involved more IMO.

Yes. I think he ran the jet sweep the best this year.

This plus 10 Patterson's problems have nothing to do with strength

Guys like Gebhart, Woods, Rice, Perkins, and Gray are going to have to step up Saturday and fill the void.

There's going to be a lot of question marks in the receiving corps next year though especially if Vraa doesn't try or get the medical redshirt. I'm still holding out hope that Dee Gray can find his edge. He's got the size to be a difference maker but he must not be able to put it together yet in practice as evidenced by his playing time or lack thereof. Like Bisonator98 said I think Illies is a guy who's size could suit WR if needed. He doesn't have blazing speed but I think he's shown some good speed when he can get in the open field. Don't rule out Marcus Collins either as a pass catching TE threat that could be a matchup nightmare as a TE/WR hybrid over the next few years.

I don't think it's a question of IF at all. He already knows he can come back, but he'll talk with an agent and whomever else to find out what is best for him to do at this time. I wonder if him getting this hamstring injury, without me really knowing the severity of it, might put him into a similar situation as what Jirik and Beck will have/had to do before trying out for the NFL. This injury could potentially set him back development wise for the next level, so maybe getting healthy in the offseason and returning next year may be the better option. I have no idea, just speculating.

None of those 3 are NFL material. Great college players tho. Just a fact of life.

My bad. He sure looks weak and seems to get manhandled at the LOS.

Not your bad at all! Plenty of athletes who look the part but get their ass kicked!! FACT!! We have some of them.

I'm pretty sure Vraa is around 200 pounds...maybe a little over. Where did you see 181?
