Title says it all. The game is at 4pm Saturday, Jan 21 on the NFL network.

Roster Link is here

Really hope these two get a chance to get on the field and perform well.

Both players had similar success last season.  I don't think either one has improved significantly from last year until now.  Koger had a few more receptions, but not a significant amount.

This isn't a Rodriguez vs. Hoke thing.  Neither player was a standout, no matter who the coach was.

Plus, I think both endured some developing passing games that didn't necessarily allow them to flourish. Maybe if we weren't starting a new QB from 2008-2010, each season, then either, particularly Hemingway could have made more of an impact. Koger didn't overcome the drops until his senior year and even then he still dropped a few.

All I know is that he has all the tools to play in the NFL except elite speed. However he's got a big body for a WR. That 2nd touchdown was an NFL calibur TD. I'm not sure I want him blocking like a TE or a FB...but I'd definitely put him in the backfield then split him out wide (like the Jets do with Keller) and let him get matched up on a LB or get a free release and matched up on a safety.
