Noots, I completely agree with you that DA’s potential and Bennett’s consistency is the most attractive pairing at the onset of this season. However, the initial pairing of Hester and Knox is predicated on the Martz offense wanting speed at receiver position. Given that, DA will get plenty of looks in this offense. Sadly, I think Bennett is going to get buried in the depth charts. Surely, Martz will be less inclined to run four receiver sets with the receiving talent we have at TE and RB. Right?

I said when we were first moving Hester to WR…that I feared we were giving up the greatest return man in the history of the NFL, for a decent #3 reciever. I think the last few years have, unfortunately, proven that to be prophetic.

That having been said. Martz has talked a lot about Hester being a slot guy and focusing more on returns this year. And yeah, I think all should see plenty of action.

In the end, I have to wonder if being anointed a starter really matters in a Mike Martz offense. Won’t there likely be wide distribution of throws to at least 4 WRs? Maybe the starter label is good for contract incentives or something, but I’m wondering if we’ll see Aromashodu end up as #3 or maybe even displace Hester or Knox…as neither of them are really built to be sturdy & reliable for all 16 games.

agree about Bennett. As for Aromashodu I’m still not convinced while he had a good end to the season I’d like to see him have more than a couple good games
