Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
Were any defenses shaking in their boots when the Dolphins lined Reggie Bush up in the slot? Not really. That doesn't mean you can't do it every now and then but maybe you get 15 snaps a season in that formation. Ray Rice is not going to be a regular slot receiver.

Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
They would with Rice lining up in slot but I like the idea of alternating him as
Solo mentioned above and with Pitta and he'll still be RB. Slot receivers are often smaller than the big WRs like 5'7" Hawkins of the Bengals. They also have great lateral movements like Rice in the SD video above and they're not afraid to take the bumps and bruises like Ray.
Here's an article entitled SLOT MACHINES and Rice fits the profile here.

Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
I dont think necessarilly that the Ray wil be full time slot reciever, but if you notice, we are starting to get some "tweeners" on offense.
Pitta, that new FB and Rice are all multi-faceted and can slide in between positions.
Add depth with guys like Pierce and there could be some interesting personnel packages next season.
It will be interesting to see what wrinkles Cladwell comes up with.
NE used two catching TEs effectively. How can you use 2 great RBs effectively?
Remember, this is his first full year as OC.

Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
He is getting high praise because of his performance during the Senior Bowl. He was already a natural receiver, but he was just dominating at the Senior Bowl as a blocker out of the backfield.
Is he getting overrated a bit? Maybe. However, I think you're significantly undervaluing what he can bring to this offense.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
Is that the ultimate definition of a "bend-but-don't-break" defense?

Re: Ray Rice as slot receiver?
Yeah, use him in the slot, spread him out wide, put him at TE, just get the ball in his hands. Rice is still our #1 weapon on offense and he needs to be part of the game plan at all times. Even when the ball doesn't go to him the defense has to account for him at all times. He opens up opportunities that the offense would not otherwise have.
