Thought this was a good tidbit from a Matt Jones article

Ill just copy paste what is relevant to this board....

Where he is now is in Smith's old position, the X position in the Jaguars' offense. Jones was mostly used in the slot last season, but now he will be split wider, giving him a better chance to use his speed.

"I don’t feel as trapped in," Jones said. "I have more field to work with."

To prepare for the move, he has studied a bunch of tapes of some of the NFL's star receivers. New assistant head coach Mike Tice, who coached the Vikings the past few years, gave him a tape of some of Moss's routes with the team. Steve Walters, the receivers coach, had him watch tape of Bengals receiver Chad Johnson.

"I watched the Moss tape two or three times and Walters had me watch Johnson since he's another tall receiver who runs really, really good routes," Jones said.

pretty cool knowing that everyone knows chad is a premier reciever and might arguably be the best reciever period. thought u all would like it! :bengal: god i love chad! in a nonhomosexual kinda way...that reminds me...whens billy back? :D

cant wait for the season!

Isn't this the same guy that Keiwan Ratliff convinced not to go into the 2004 draft as a QB?

i mean its kinda cool that they are using chad as a basis for improving on talent instead of an older retired player like irvin, rice, etc. that was not happening a couple years ago.
