Raise your hand if you've wanted to see Jeff Janis on the field, regardless if he makes a catch? The kid can run and they have to use him. Sound familiar? It should because we've been saying it for weeks if not months.

Trot his speedy ass out there and let him run deep and if he gets a step, hit him, if he doesn't then toss it up and get a 50 yard pass interference. Yards are yards either by completion or penalty.

Jeff Janis ran a 4.42 40 during the 2014 combine. Damarious Randall, who ran 4.41, says Janis is 4.3 speed. Stating the obvious here, Randall believes Janis is faster than him. Hmmm.

Janis is learning more and more with each game.

Speed can kill, but at this level, I started to realize this year, or halfway through last year, that it takes a little bit more than just speed. It takes technique, things like that. It's something I'm learning and getting better at.

Sam Shields, who ran a 4.3, believes Janis is a helluva player and it sounds like Janis and Rodgers need to spend some "bro-time" together to get on the same page.

Man, Janis is a hell of a player. Speed? You can't teach that. That's something in the league you need. He's just got to keep working with 'A-Rod.' I don't know how that goes over there. It's getting that confidence with him. That's the job for him.

Imagine if we ever got a guy with speed, size, and agility! You know, the qualifications of legitimate #1 receiver.

4.4 is not that fast.

Dude needs to learn how to catch without facing the QB before he can get it done deep. He also needs to learn to catch with his hands and go up to compete for the ball. He's got the size, that shouldn't be a problem.

It seems Janis has too many limitations to see the field if another guy is available. I hope he can overcome his limitations.

Janis is kind of a worse version of Billy Schroeder isn't he? He probably will never be accused of being a cerebral assassin. But I don't see what it hurts to let him run a few deep posts to see if we can hit a few cheap touchdowns. That is if he continues being a good gunner on punts.

The problem is that with our offense not even post routes are so simple, depending on coverage you need to learn where to expect the ball depending on coverage and I think Janis is not getting that part of the game. Curiously the other receivers seem to be having problems too with that, Rodgers reads coverage in one way and the WRs in a different way and we have all those ridiculous throws.

If you haven't mastered catching by the time you hit the NFL you have no place ever touching the field. I understand our route concepts can be complicated but come the fuck on. I can't wait until we move on from this guy.

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
