Tommy Streeter to see playing time this year?

[usmccharles]

Taken from rotoworld.com

"Jones was safe after the Ravens traded Anquan Boldin away, but this assures him of his roster spot. An All-Pro return man last season, Jones may be asked to take on a bigger role on offense in 2013. As it stands right now, he's Baltimore's No. 2 receiver. Tandon Doss and Tommy Streeter are other in-house receivers. "

So if im reading this correctly this is implying streeter is 4th on the depth chart? Havent heard anything about him all year or any of his progress. Curious if anyone else has some info, sorry if this is discussed anywhere else.

Maybe he has gotten thicker since we put him on IR. Anyways offense should be even more fun with young wideouts emerging and pierce taking over the league(it will happen). We need to continue building the defense

I agree with the offense being fun this year, as we are no longer hindered by Cameron. I also agree with the fact that we have young, emerging receivers to be excited about in Smith/Doss/Streeter, and yes, even in Jacoby Jones who is still young. Something tells me that he is a man on a mission to show that he can still be a good receiver in the league. However, what I do not agree with is Pierce taking the league over. Nope, not happening, not with Rice getting at least 65% of the carries still. While I do think Pierce has potential to be just like Arian Foster in the right system (even with this team if he was the only Rb we had getting all/most of the carries), I just do not see him taking the league by storm with the amount of carries we'll be giving him. Sure, he will be someone to keep an eye on, and someone who can and probably will break out, but he won't be a star this year.

[dhstandard]

He has the measurables he is just very raw. He was listed as a possible breakout receiver who could go in the first round had he stayed in college another year. Plenty of guys aren't able take the next step. That's what he has to do.

[Ravensuperfan1]

the offense will still go through Ray Rice. Heavy does of run keeping the defenses honest than having Flacco go off for big chunk plays. Hope he makes the Pro-Bowl this upcoming year, not that I want him to go, because hopefully he will be playing in the big game once again.

As for Streeter, did he even touch the field this season?

[TDubbs]

Don't forget about Laquan Williams and Deonte Thompson! Tommy Streeter is a very intriguing option in my opinion. A 6 foot 5 WR with the speed he possesses has the potential to be deadly in this offense. I'm sure Flacco would love to get a guy with his size on the outside.

[ravenfan222222]

[size=3][sub]I would bring in Darrius Haywerd Bey if i was the Ravens! He's a former MD Terp, went to high school in MD, and was born in MD. There is no place like home! He would have a support system here that wouldnt be able to be matched anywhere else and a lot of friends and family to make him feel comfortable. He is extremely fast he ran a 4.3 in the 40 yard dash and ran an unofficial time of a 4.24 which would tie Chris Johnson's record for the fastest ever. He needs to become more consistent catching the ball and needs to improve his route running. But catching and route running can be taught size, height, and speed can't. He is 6'2 with amazing speed and he accelerates great. I think the Oakland Raiders put a lot of pressure on him when they chose him 7th overall in the first round of the draft when he was projected to go in the 2nd or 3rd round, and they never really gave him a good chance or an oppurtunity to develop and had no veteran WR's there to coach him up and to follow in there footsteps. When drafted he faced a lot of harsh criticism and pressure to be a rookie #1 Starting WR for a struggling team. And if u watch film the QB's that he played with were terrble. He played with Culpepper in his last stage of his carear, Jemarcus Russell the biggest draft bust of all time, and an aging Carson Palmer who really all he had was a strong arm. The raiders really have no other WR to go along with him either or a good TE and Mcfadden was always injured so when u played the Raiders u knew they were going to throw the ball and odds r it was going to Darrius, and often times they would throw him the ball when he was double and tripple covered or across the middle when he was about to take a big hit and then he wouldnt hold onto it which isnt his fault that would be the QB's fault. And Darrius could of easily just pulled a Jemarcus Russell and just gave up bc they have no coaching staff in Oakland, nothing there except youth and speed, and Al Davis in his older stages in life did a lot of questionable things especially some of the peoplewho he drafted. And majority of Raiders fans r wishing him luck since he was released and saying that they want him to succeed. And raiders fans r very harsh and some of the most crazy fans in the NFL so that just goes to show u that they believe he could o fbeen good and he was thrown into a terrible situation. And they were saying go anywhere except r division which shows that he can be a huge threat if he is given a good chance on a team with a good QB. The fans also said he was very durable and he worked his but off and he didnt deserve to be bashed. They also said he had a great work ethic and was a class act, which is hard to do when he was playing for the Raiders who have no big name players or any good coaches. I think that Darrius and Torrey Smith combined would be danjerous with there speed and there ability to stretch the field and throw in Flacco emerging as a great QB and his amazing arm strength i think that could be lethal. We r in seriou need of a WR this year. Streeter is fast i believe he ran a 4.4in the 40 but he is very inconsistent catching and often drops wide open passes. He is a project that needs a lot of work and he is very raw. In his combine he was even dropping passes with no defenders on him and where it should be a gaurantee catch and he is just coming off of a foot injury that placed him n injured reserve. Streeter is 6'5 220 Lbs which is great but he is rather scrawny and doesnt have a lot of strength for a WR his size in the NFL. I think maybe somewhere down the line in a few years with a lot of hard work and coaching that Streeter may be good but i just dont see it right now. And after all he was a 6th round draft pick which shows a lot of teams thought that he wasnt even worth drafting and streeter has no regular season games in his experience so i just dont see him being the answer at WR atleast not this year! So please comment and tell me what u guys think about this idea, Thanks! [/sub][/size]

This.

I agree with everything you said, i was kind of shocked on what he said about pierce. I agree he has great talent and will make some great plays, but rice is just to good at so many things. Pierce is a great complimentary back to rice as he reminds of Ricky williams to the T. We will have a tough decision to make when pierce is up for contract assuming he continues to improve. With cam gone i really think we will see a organized chaos on offense now. Also, im glad you pointed out jones because ive been saying this from the day we signed him that hes got a chip on his shoulder...and hes alredy came up huge for us.

[Free Agent]

I'm very eager to see how much Streeter has progressed. I hope he put on some muscle, his size and speed could be a very valuable addition to our offense.

I think Rotoworld only mentioned Doss and Streeter because they're the recent draft picks and have more upside than Reed, Thompson and Williams.

[T-ray]

I caught the last line of this post, and it said to say what our opinion was of what you had to say, and my opinion is as follows. Bro, I'm just shaking my head at how small the font is. Man, even if you were Ozzie himself and said the plans of the offseason to the T, this is just too small to read. You must be joking with this post, because I mean the default font size is the size I am using right now, so you had to put some effort into changing the size. If not, then just use larger font size next time, please.

[Ravensuperfan1]

wow this is some small font. I don't think Hayward Bay is worth it to be honest with you. Rather just go with our young players

[dhstandard]

You have more trust in Heyward-bey and not Streeter? Just because a guy is a late draft pick doesn't mean anything. A lot of later picks are just raw guys who may have been good with an extra year in college. It's not that teams aren't interested, it's just a lot of teams aren't picking project players when guys who are somewhat established are still on the board. DHB was drafted 4 years ago and has improved, but just barely enough to be a number 2 guy.

Also, I read your tiny font and you posted a ton of unnecessary information. We don't need to hear about DHB's 40 time or that he needs to improve on route running and his hands. It's common knowledge.

[jimmypowder]

This tiny font has given me a migraine

[Latch]

okay. darrius is fast, right? guess who else is fast? Torrey Smith. Torrey also has good hands and route-running ability, unlike DHB. I'm not saying he couldn't get better, I'm just saying that Torrey fits the 'torch-DBs-all-the-time' bill just as if not better than DHB does. also, you're pretty weak if being picked 7th overall is too much pressure for you. Julio Jones was selected 6th overall and he's absolutely killing it in Atlanta. (to be fair to DHB, it's easier to kill it in Atlanta than it is in Oakland.)

in response to this Tommy Street topic, i see nothing wrong with giving him a chance. pretty sure he didnt play a down this year, but I'm thinking that if he bulks up a little bit, he would be an absolute freak. to be big, strong AND fast? makes a football fan drool.

Thats what we are getting. I am hoping that he has bulked up and worked on the JUGS machine like Jones did in the offseason. This guy could be a 6-5 version of Q with longer and faster strides and the size to hit the middle as well as a redzone threat. This guy would a monster at slot since most safeties would be too slow and most slot corners would be too small. The other WR people are forgetting to mention is Deonte Thompson, if this guy can catch on like Torrey did, look out. This guy has scary speed and get behind a D faster than possibly any one on our team. If he has worked on his hands as well, I hope they give him a chance in the offense and possibly come off the bench to dispel Smith. Either way, with the guys we have now and the possible addition of Tavon Austin in the future, there will be no way offenses will be able to covers our WRs and RBs at the same time. Speed kills and the ravens will potentially have the fastest WR core in the AFC in 2013.

[GrimCoconut]

What's with these long, run-on paragraphs lately?

[arnie_uk]

A paragraph would be nice. Do not read blocks of text like that

[Tdot Raven]

Yea I literally stopped reading at "Darrius Heyward-Bey"

[BloodRaven]

He's probably the most physically gifted receiver on the roster but he's also the most raw by far. Other than one or two highlight reel plays during the pre-season I don't think we'll see much of him.

[NaveSenrag]

Rotoworld doesn't know what it's talking about. Streeter will be a beat, but probably not this year. If he really has improved, I can see him getting reps as an experimental red zone/third down target, but I doubt he'll be very high on the depth chart until next year when I see us purging our receiving corps of dead weight.

Yes and No. Depth Chart wise it means nothing. But the other 2 receivers we have drafted are those 2. Since draft picks are usually better and more valued than UDFA's guys like Deonte Thompson would be ranked lower in the eyes of rotoworld imo. Given that David Reed, Deonte Thompson, and possibly Laquan Williams are still there, it will be a battle for that WR4 spot. I assume Doss has 3 locked up given how we used him this year (he is so bad tho)

Right now Streeter is Justin Harper. He has talent but is raw. He'll all get excited about his practice and preseason catches but inconsistency will lead to him not making the final cut. He'll end up on IR. Of course I have no fact of this but right now I don't see Streeter making the cut, mainly because I think the guys in front of him will do well.

I agree that next year will probably be his year to show he's ready. I don't think there is much dead weight at WR honestly but I do agree some tough decisions will have to be made in 2014. I actually think fans will be pleasantly surprised with the WRs this year.

Streeter didn't do much in the preseason honestly. He didn't even play much. He had 2 catches for 40 yards. I like his upside but he has to do more. Thompson had a total of 10 catches 139yds 2TDs and also showed his worth returning Kicks. Then he showed up in the regular season too. 5 catches for 51 yards and losing your returner job isn't great, but he at least showed signs of potential. Imo right now Thompson is clearly ahead of Streeter and because of his WR and return abilities his upside is just as high if not higher then Streeter. What you did in college and where you would have been drafted doesn't mean much once you are competing for a roster spot in the NFL. What you are doing now means everything.

I agree that he has a lot of the tools that a receiver needs, and is very raw. I'm not saying whether or not he has and will continue to improve, but he won't have what it takes to be anything but a #6 receiver this year. I actually don't think that he'll be on IR again this year, because the FO is going to want him training as hard as he can, and IR prevents that.

Depending on how well he does this season, if at all, he may either retain his roster spot, move up, or get shifted to PS. I suppose "dead weight" is a little harsh. What I mean is that of the eight receivers the Ravens are paying, I don't see more than four still being with the team for the 2014 season.

While I projected Streeter to make the roster, there's a very real chance what you said happens. I'm more of a gambling man, so I'm gambling with the idea that Streeter will be used, thinking we'll throw him out there on 3rd downs in the redzone. In all honesty, I believe there's a strong chance he ends up on IR again.

I can see a WR corps where we have Smith, Doss, JJ, Thompson & Reed with a draft pick in there, possibly Harper. I think the FO wants to see what Reed can do. If Reed is unimpressive, there's a legit chance we cut him and bring LaQuan up to the roster. We're going to have some nice competition here. We also have that WR from GB we signed not long ago. What was his name?
