a possibility for STL if avery & robinson start...
* speed isn't a be all & end all... you need FUNCTIONAL, PLAYING speed (the rams bruce & holt not the fastest, but could cut at full speed & no tells on how they worked through the route tree)... the ability to block is handy... as a WR, having an answer for press coverage, avoiding the jam, precise route running ability, hands, toughness, concentration, hops, timing, body control, field awareness all very important...
that said, if avery & robinson prove to be above average at some of the other, requisite WR traits & attributes, AND have blazing speed, having two of them like that could be a formidable combination...
BTW, not sure robinson is long term answer as starter even if he does stay healthy... but if defenses stack the line to stop jackson, & the upgraded STL OL (with brown, possible new LT, maybe guys like karney & bajema) better protects bulger, having TWO 4.3 speed merchants on the outside could enable rams to punish defenses with some big plays over the top...
