Gettis has got a lot of talent. Those movies were sick out there. He can run routes better than Moose or Smith but he can't do nearly as much after the catch as those two. Also I don't know if he can make the fantastic grabs in traffic as those two.

Either way he's getting mentioned in the conversation with the best Panther WRs ever. It's early but he shows talent not just stats. Could've had 3tds, all by completely demollshing secondaries with his route running.

I thought it was interesting that one of the game announcers on fox yesterday said gettis may have learned his craft faster than lafell because he only has one wr spot to learn where as lafell is learning 3. Can someone explain that to me?

1.8 THREE RECEIVERS - A formation with an extra receiver can be achieved by removing a running back and bringing in a wide receiver, to produce the Slot (H) formation. Passing to the wide receivers is significantly improved, but passing to the running back will be poor. The role of the tight end is unchanged, but the running game is restricted as there is only one running back in the backfield.

An alternative is the Ace (E) formation, where a running back (sometimes referred to as an H-back) sets up close to the line of scrimmage outside the tight-end as a wing back. This permits him faster release into the flat or over the middle, but he is much less effective as a runner or blocker.

FOUR RECEIVERS - To produce a formation with four wide receivers it is necessary either to play without a tight end, or without any running backs in the backfield.

In the Stretch (S) formation the tight end is removed and there are four wide receivers. There is now no strongside to the offensive line, and the running game will be poor. There is no run blocking other than the offensive line, and successful running is dependent upon the passing game keeping the defence out of specialist run defences. The passing game is particularly good, but with no tight-end and only one running-back is almost entirely restricted to the wide receivers.

The Wing-Three (Z) formation is an alternative with only three wide receivers, but with the second running back moved to become a wing back (the same as in the Ace). The running game is almost as weak as with the Stretch, but with a running back and a wing back available the passing game is available to both running backs and wide receivers.

The Split (L) formation is a variation of the Ace formation, with both running backs lining up as wings (near the line of scrimmage). The variation in the passing game is optimised, with two wing backs, two wide receivers and the tight end, but with no-one in the backfield the running game is non-existent.

Z formation is what he has the most experience with.
