Greg Lewis had a knack for finding that 1st down marker as well but I am much more confident in Avants abilities. One thing that bothers me is that Steve Smith is getting all this attention in New York for being so clutch on 3rd downs while Avant gets nothing. I'm sure defensive coaches are aware of him though. <br />Depending on the situations, Avant and Curtis both have excellent attributes for the slot. Avant is the tough across the middle catch anything that comes his way and McNabbs safety net on 3rd downs. Curtis on the otherhand is able to turn those 4-6 yard catches into 10-20 in a hurry. I haven't been this confident about our WR's ever.Adam S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11550402871381739282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-50072900124822010022009-07-11T00:52:51.967-04:002009-07-11T00:52:51.967-04:00Avant is a tremendous slot reciever, I feel he'...Avant is a tremendous slot reciever, I feel he's really underated. I just popped in a VHS I had of the 2nd half the vikings playoff win this last year, and Avant had 2 critical 3rd down catches for first downs on the drive where we started pinned deep in our own territory. He added another great first down catch a little later on.<br /><br />The guy was not meant to be a 80 catch guy, but he comes up huge on 3rd down for us, and I'm more than happy to let him work the slot for us.<br /><br />I really wish more people had an understanding of how valuable a guy like Avant can be, and how skilled he is at what he does. Great hands, great routes, really has a knack for sitting down in the zone, always finds the first down marker for us... remember the 3rd and 20 play against the Giants that he got 21 yards on? Huge play in the game, really helped suck some of the wind out of the Giants sails as well as make a big difference in field position. Avant is quietly one of the better wide recievers we've had over the years.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085850538234303845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4955582067533116261.post-56426202861510408032009-07-10T18:45:49.090-04:002009-07-10T18:45:49.090-04:00Doesn't having a team like the Lions cutting a...Doesn't having a team like the Lions cutting a player throw up some sort of red flag for you at all?? It does for me, but I know absolutely NOTHING about this guy.Adam S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11550402871381739282noreply@blogger.com
