Expanding Hank Baskett's Role?


Usually I'm not one to bring up random suggestions, (I usually write longer commentaries) but I haven't really seen many people bring this up.

Hank Baskett is a big physical receiver who runs good routes, but his role has been diminished this year. I had expected him to be used more in certain packages that call for bigger receivers, but it seems he's only seen the field when we spread out the offense.

One big reason our offense has struggled is our WRs inability to get off the line when pressed, and this has been reiterated numerous times. I'm thinking Baskett, because of his size would do better against that kind of coverage and be a valuable player if given more opportunities.

I think it's safe to say that besides one game, Jason Avant has been our best WR, and he is incidentally the biggest of our 3 top WRs.

So wouldn't Baskett, who's 3 inches taller and 8 pounds heavier, be even better?


Just a thought. You can go where you want with this.
