redsbengalsbucks Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The slot is covered well, Shipley, Sanu, Hawkins, and Whalen. I would think Shipley, Sanu and Hawkins are locks. Leaving Jones, Binn, Whalen and Hazelton to battle for the other 2 spots. Whalen gets hurt by the fact that they will be looking for a true outside #2 WR to go opposite Green and a backup for the outside spots in case of injury.I would bet the WR corp will look like this:GreenShipleySanuHawkinsBinnJonesHazelton and/or Whalen to the PS if they have that option left.I totally forgot about Tate, he could always win the #2 spot, he has the speed. That would probably leave Binn on the PS again.I would also bet that Green, Sanu, Shipley and Hawkins get moved around alot. All of these players will play all three spots. Sanu probably a little less due to being a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Sanu is a perfect Z compliment to Green's X. No he is not a burner but can get deep, he has great jumping ability (36" from what I recall) and long arms with big hands and is not afraid to get physical and fight for the ball, yes the Scarlet Knights played him in the slot last year but if you look at 2010 Sanu was lined up X or Z. IMHO SANU starts at our #2 and Jones is the 4th guy. Be prepared for this offense to look alot like the Patriots offense double TEs both releasing into routes and 3 WR with no RB will appear ALOT more often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on paper, but time will tell the true story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpeldios Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Been watching video of this guy and I dont see a #2. Actually as a bengals fan the guy he reminds me of, route running wise is Ron Dugans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
