One of the biggest stories coming out of San Jose SaberCats camp is not one of controversy, but rather of a good problem to have. The two highly touted Wide Receivers the team uses, Bailey Cook and Shane Weston, have taken turns impressing in the preseason. This was to be expected, and many have confidence that these two will eventually be able to get it in sync for the season as they develop their games.
But perhaps the biggest surprise, and the thing pushing San Jose's receiving corps over the top, is their Tight End, Break Bottles. Bottles was a relatively under-the-radar prospect entering the inaugural draft, and the 'Cats were able to nab him at 81st overall, a pick coming in the fourteenth round. This unprecedented successful player (so far, at least) has shown dedication in the training room, and hopes to grow his player to great heights, helping himself and his team along the way.
A quick look at each player's best preseason game will show that they are all capable of making large amounts of noise.
Cook: Week One versus the Wraiths, the possession receiver caught five passes for eighty-four yards, in an otherwise less-than-stellar performance from Jameis.
Weston: In a loss against the Orange County Otters, the late pick led all receivers with fifty-six yards on six catches, stepping out from the pack.
Bottles: Week Three against the Outlaws, the big TE caught six passes for forty-seven yards and two touchdowns.
With Cook, Weston and Bottles catching passes from gunslinger Jameis Christ, it should prove to be a veritable aerial attack when the regular season hits!
