Marcedes Lewis Will Bounce Back!
Let's Find Out Why!
Please remember that when #1 pick in
the draft type talent meets opportunity, in the right scheme, you ALWAYS get excellent results.
-The Coaches and Schemes -
New HC Mike Murlarkey and OC Bob
Bratkowski who Mike Murlarkey brought over with him from the Falcons last year are planning to run the Traditional Pro Set Offense
with a run heavy twist. (the same as the Cowboys but they run it pass
heavy). During Mike's time in ATL he was a lover of this offensive scheme and what you saw in ATL was a TON of targets to the #1 WR which is
the Z or Flanker position manned by Roddy White. The second stat
stuffing position was the Y or TE position manned by Tony Gonzalez (the most talented TE in the league). Also look at Witten's numbers and
targets in the Y or TE position for the Cowboys. That is how the "Y" position produces in this offense. It did it in ATL and in Dallas and it will do the same in Jacksonville.
-The Opportunity-
In the Traditional Pro
Set Offense the "Y" or TE is the #2 stat producing position on the
team. Justin Blackmon is suppose to man the "Z" but he has not signed
his contract yet and Laurent Robinson is trying to hold it down but he is not
talented enough. Justin Blackmon (#1 pick in the draft type talent) will be a BEAST once he signs and
learns how to run his assignments correctly (DYNASTY format pick up). Blackmon can be Roddy White Jr. in this offense but he's missing crucial reps in training camp because that is where the
team learns the Traditional Pro Set Offense and learns to perfect the
system. Marcedes Lewis is there and throwing down. Here's what the camp spectators are saying about him on twitter " Marcedes Lewis featured in red zone" and "Nice catch by Marcedes Lewis in the end zone. TD throw by Gabbert" and finally "Marcedes Lewis has caught everything. Get the feeling he was embarrassed by last year. Just sort of feels that way watching him"
-The Talent-
Now let's add in the
last piece to the puzzle and that's the talent of Marcedes Lewis. Now just because the system or scheme or "Y" position calls
for a ton of targets to the TE does not mean that all Marcedes has to do
is show up and show out (look at Laurent Robinson). You have to be ready physically and mentally to man the position to perfection. Marcedes
was a #1 pick for the Jags back in 2006 coming over from UCLA. He has more than the necessary talent to man the TE position and finish among
the top 10 in TE's this yr. Here's the shocker he is either on your
wavier wire or he is going undrafted. I just bought him in one of my
DYNASTY leagues FA auction format for a dollar. This is not rocket
science nor is it a hunch. This is knowing your OC and HC's offensive
schemes and looking at the positions and reacting before the calculator
experts dig in around 2013. This is the perfect storm brewing for
Marcedes. There is nothing sleeper about this. It's just when #1 pick in
the draft type talent meets opportunity, in the right scheme, you ALWAYS get excellent results.
