Now, with Kirk set to miss valuable practice time, Stribling has a chance to put a stranglehold on his role with very little competition. Purdy has been impressed by the early returns on Stribling. Much will be made of his speed and separation skills, which is fair. But he's a bigger body who is unafraid to go over the middle.
