      Remember, VJ worked out of the slot a lot for us, as does Gates. Most of Gates career has been in the slot, since we don't use him as a classic inline TE that much.

      Allen is not as big as Crabtree, who is taller and more solidly built. But Allen is actually quicker, so in many ways, he is better suited for the slot then outside.

                Crabtree is bigger overall, and a lot bigger upper body, which comes in handy beating the press, which is partly why I think Allen would do somewhat better inside initially. It's a lot harder to press a WR if they can line up off the line a bit, like most slot WR do.

                In time, Allen will develop into a fine outside WR, but like most rookies, he needs to get somewhat stronger and learn to run routes to take advantage of his speed and great quickness. He is a terrific athlete who just needs to refine his game a bit. There where a number of people who felt he was the 1st or 2nd best WR in college last year, and he mostly fell because of the knee, not his actual abilities. But even the top couple of WR need to step it up in the NFL.

                  Speaking of bulking up, Vincent Brown looks like he spent the entire past year in the weight room. His upper body looks David Bostonesque compared to how he came into the league.

                    let's hope VB doesn't get nipple rings and ask the defense not to hit him in the chest like BUSTon.
