Scrimmage Stats- Receiving

**jaretac** · 08-21-2008, 02:07 AM

Similar to the thread I did earlier about Arnaud and Bates, I thought that you all would like a better handle on what the receivers are doing. From the 4 scrimmage reports at Cyclones.com, I've added all the stats together and have presented them below. I didn't include some receivers who only had one or two catches for short yardage.

Sumrall= 7 catches for 169 yards and 2 TDs at 24.1 yards a catch
Johnson= 7 catches for 156 yards and 2 TDs at 22.3 yards a catch
Carlson= 4 catches for 66 yards and a TD at 16.5 yards a catch
Darks= 6 catches for 53 yards at 8.8 yards a catch
Mansfield= 6 catches for 45 yards and a TD at 7.5 yards a catch
Hamilton= 4 catches for 35 yards at 8.8 yards a catch
Messiah= 2 catches for 33 yards and 2 TDs at 16.5 yards a catch
Franklin= 2 catches for 29 yards at 14.5 yards a catch
Sandvig= 2 catches for 28 yards at 14 yards a catch

Based on this quote from Rodgers:

Rodgers says a receiver rotation will develop during the season.
“It isn’t necessarily who is in the first group and who is in the second group,” Rodgers said. We will rotate certain people in and out and sometimes it just depends on the situation.”

Johnson will be playing along with several other receivers. I don't know if you would classify him a "starter".

He currently is listed as the number 3 receiver on the team. So yes, he will be a starter if it stays that way

All I know is this....I saw Sedrick burn down the field 72 yards following a catch last Saturday.

The Kid can play.....and is fast.

I would say no. He may play as much as any receiver but I don't think he will start the first game.

Where are you guys finding the depth chart at? I didn't think any of that would come out until a day or two before the game.

I think SJ will definitely be in the mix to play a lot but hard to say that he'll beat out Hamilton and RJ for a starting spot. Hamilton I think has the potential to be a go-to guy based on what we've seen of him. He's a big tall WR with some good hands. Maybe not 4.4 speed but he'll make plays and take a hit.

I haven't seen it. Just been told by a player on the team that he is listed as the #3 and starting. A lot can still change though

I was thinking of the more traditional 2 WR sets, so I voted no, but I guess I could see him starting as the #3 WR when we use the 3 wideout sets.

That's the problem with predicting "starting" wideouts. A player may not be in during 2 WR sets in the middle of the field but may come in during certain situations like in the redzone. It's a tricky position to classify anyone as a starter unless they are in for every play.
