KS on Josh Morgan and the slot position:

On Josh Morgan:

“Josh is the same thing. First thing we always look at is just the skill standpoint. Josh doesn’t have the numbers and other stuff that other guys have had, but I think he would have last year if he didn’t get hurt. If you watch Josh in those games and stuff, he can naturally get off bump. He’s got great hands. He’s a physical guy who runs through every ball. He’s very good after the catch. He’s fearless out there. He’ll put his face in people in the running game. He comes off the ball, doesn’t loaf. He does everything you ask for for a big time receiver. With him getting that injury, it set him back. He hasn’t been full go in OTA’s like Pierre has and everyone else, so we haven’t seen a ton of him out there. He’s been trying to go and push through it and when we have, we see the talent that we’ve got. He’s got to get healthy so he can get more comfortable with his reps, get him more comfortable with what he’s doing out there.”



On Josh Morgan or Leonard Hankerson playing more in the slot:

“It’s hard, because actually to me, it’s the first time we’ve got a few guys who are capable of that. Josh [Morgan] and Hank [Leonard Hankerson] are very capable of that. Santana Moss, I see as one of the premier guys in the NFL at that position. So we have some depth there. We have guys who I don’t think we miss a beat, whoever’s in there. It could be play dependent, it could be just because of injuries, but it’s the first time I see a few guys who can do it, not just Santana [Moss]. All three of those guys are all fast enough to go outside also. So when you have a situation like that, I don’t really have anything penciled in my mind. Especially this time of the year, you like to let them all work it and usually when you’ve got guys who are all good, it plays itself out.”
