Thread: Vikings receivers ready for new chances

I just pulled up Travis Taylor's stats out of personal curiosity:

50 604 12.1 4

(That's number of receptions, yards, yards per catch, and TD's)

He was our most productive receiver in terms of number of receptions and yardage.. I think he could really grow into a possession-receiver role.

Said Freya as she did her best immitation of a Viking Cheerleader dance move. :lol:

Start Williamson! You don't sit the #7 overall pick two years straight unless you want a bust! The kid has talent why waste it?

Anyone else think we need another possesion receiver since Nate left?

I think that K-Rob is actually a decent possession receiver, just not the way we used him last year. Troy is our burner (obviously), and TT will also be a solid possession receiver. Now, if Martin Nance, Mike Hass, or Derek Hagan happen to fall to us in the 3rd, put me down as very interested.

Williamson.....hes ready for a breakout season...last year, whether it was physically or mentally, he didnt live up to his 'expectations'.......but itll be different this year...! :lol:

I really like our receiving corps, even without Burleson I think we've got good talent there. Koren Robinson is obviously our #1 guy, Troy is our #2 with afterburners to spare, Travis Taylor is a solid slot-receiver who has great hands, and Marcus Robinson is a great red-zone threat to bring in alongside Wiggins when you have those 1st-and-10's inside the 20 yard line.

Let's just have faith that it all plays out as we hope it will!

Amen.

Last year, with all the hype, our top 4 were Burleson, M. Robinson, Taylor and Williamson.

This year, with no hype, our top 4 are K. Robinson, M. Robinson, Taylor and Williamson. I can't see how that isn't an improvement. K-Rob had some *great* seasons before the booze got him in Seattle and both Marcus and Travis are sure-handed. Williamson with a season under his belt will be absolutely better.

And we've got fabulous TE pass-catching options with Wiggins and JimmyK.

If Mewelde can keep himself healthy and take the game seriously, the Vikes have as many weapons as any team in the league.

i like KRob and TWill starting, taylor at #3, with marcus robinson coming in for redzone opportunities
