Goodson is just the type of player who could look great “in underwear” and then struggle some once the pads go on and hitting goes live. Still, I hope we can get him something like 2-3 touches a game on offense, and he’s got the versatility to allow those touches to come in different areas and make a dynamic impact on the offense.

I’m wondering if we use Goodson some in the wildcat formation and other “trick” or “gadget” plays. Beyond that, he’s probably a special teams player (fulfilling Nick Goings former role). If he comes in as a slot receiver, that probably means Moose or Jarrett aren’t on the field, because we tend to throw out of fewer four receiver sets…and even then, we typically use a TE rather than another WR.

So, I’m still wondering where and how we’ll use Goodson. He certainly can serve as an able backup in the run game and as an extra receiver. But outside of special teams and the occasional “gadget” play, I’m just not sure he’ll see a lot of playing time. Barring injury to the guys ahead of him on the depth chart, of course.

Just my two-cents,

Maybe give Deangelo the option to read the defense and keep it or toss it to Goodson??? Kinda like what Vick and Dunn use to do to burn us? But then does Deangelo have the ability to complete a short pass?

Actually… What are we talking about? Fox will never pull out this type of trickery.
