We are too lean at that position to give up one of the only guys on the roster to play WR in actual NFL games. He probably does simply because we have such bad depth at the position. But it’s not a lock. He could be outplayed by multiple UDFAs. They could sign Inman or some other free agent. They could make a trade. They could make a waiver wire addition after 53 man cutdowns. Just because he played a lot in 2016 doesn’t guarantee him a roster spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 It’s a total guess on Sharpe. They kept him around after some trouble and the WR core is paper thin, it seems he would be safe. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the #3 WR or doesn’t make the roster. Matthews situation certainly helps him if it lingers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LaFleur’s offense fits really well with how they used Watkins last year. He isn’t a great route runner, and he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but what he does have is quick twitch ability to create separation underneath and over the top. I read a link talking about how he was the third or fourth option on the majority of his routes. His speed cleared space for Kupp and Woods. Taylor doesn’t have to be the guy who runs a perfect comeback route or sits in the zone. He has to be the guy who can beat you on the 9, deep post, deep cross, and deep corner. He also has to show utility in the screen game. If he does then it’s okay if he’s more of a freestyle artist than a technician in this offense. At least that’s my thought from how LaFleur used the slot last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe isn't the athlete that Taylor is but I believe he can be trusted to be exactly where he needs to be when he needs to be there. Sharpe is also more sure-handed and provides a larger catch radius IMO.If our offense ends up resembling last year's Rams offense, I think Sharpe is more suited for the Cooper Kupp role than Taylor. It's far from a guarantee but this is what I think will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor's head may explode in the huddle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some insane separation on Butler there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
