Clarity at the Inside Receiver Positions. RRS’s Mike DuPont talked with offensive coordinator Eric Morris about the receiver positions and essentially laid out the competition at each inside spot:

“Cameron Batson will start at ‘H’, behind him will be [DeQuan Bowman] and [Keke Coutee] will compete,” said Morris before the first practice. “With Jakeem leaving – the best one of those three is going to start. Cam is the guy who I thought came on at the end of the year last year, did some good things for us, he’s had an incredible offseason.

“So I think it’s Cam’s job to lose right now with those guys right behind him.”

“Jonathan Giles, [Donta Thompson] and Zach Austin will all be competing at the ‘Y’ position right now,” Morris said. “I know what Ian Sadler can do. He’s been a consistent chain-mover for us, really tough kid that blocks; unselfish player that gets the team motto we’re trying to push.”

I think we’ve seen hints of this already, but this really does lay it out as to which player is where. I mentioned yesterday that if Devin Lauderdale comes back, there is the thought that he’ll move inside rather than stay outside so that just adds even more competition.
