If you can learn to read the defenses, with good route running and good hands you can just settle into the soft spots in the zone. Plus, playing on a team with Witten and TO, you aren’t going to be the main focus of the defense. The guy is smart. He immediately picked TO’s brain when he got to camp, then he made a point to learn every WR position’s responsibilities to increase his worth to the team. Not to mention he is a good ST player. Hurd is the kind of player you love to see succeed in the NFL.

the more excited I get about their potentials for next season. I have to say, of a lot of very exciting potentials for this year, these two guys are the ones I am perhaps most excited to watch unfold. Of course Felix is a big one, and seeing how MB3 performs as a starter, and the secondary and Zach, etc, all are huge, but I’ve always been a receiver guy, and I love watching how receivers mature, and there’s hardly anything more exciting than a young receiver having a breakout season (and then contemplating his contribution for years to come). This year, on one hand having so many weapons means each up-and-coming guy may get less opportunities, but it also means the offense has so many options to make good use of them, and take advantage of the openings T.O. and Witten create as well as Felix and MB3, and there’s huge potential for these guys to take advantage of the opportunities to show what they can do. Given all the off-season speculation and unfulfilled hopes about getting a WR, there is obviously a spot for a break-out receiver or two to make an impact. Going into this off-season they were both still big unknowns, and of course that hasn’t really changed and won’t until we see them on the field, but hearing them talk and the coaches talk about them and their improvements from last season, I just can’t wait to see what they do on the field.
