FLORHAM PARK -- At this time last year, Jets wide receivers coach Karl Dorrell was preparing for a season with Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker as his top two players.

Now, his No. 1 receiver is Quincy Enunwa, followed by Robby Anderson, since Marshall and Decker were both cut this offseason. Is Enunwa, in particular, ready to take on his new role, after steadily improving the past two years?

Enunwa, who is entering a contract year in 2017, was heavily involved as a run-blocker in 2015, then saw more action in the passing game last year. Dorrell believes Enunwa can play all over -- in the slot and outside -- in new coordinator John Morton's offense.

The Jets will need Enunwa to win consistently against one-on-one coverage this year. He did that at times last year. Now, though, he will regularly face an opponent's top cornerback. It sounds like Dorrell thinks Enunwa is up to the challenge.

"Quincy really did a great job when he was challenged in one-on-one situations [last year]," Dorrell said Wednesday at Jets minicamp. "If you noticed last year, he made some plays down the field when he had one-on-one coverage. That's something he really grew confident with himself.

"He can probably battle with most guys in this league from a physical standpoint. He's very confident that he can beat one-on-one [coverage]."

While Enunwa is a muscular and physical receiver (6-foot-2 and 225 pounds), Anderson is a rail-thin speed threat who could stand to add some bulk to his 6-foot-3, 190-pound body.

"He needs to continue to gain physical strength and sharpen up his technique," Dorrell said. "He knows that teams are going to try to pick on him because he's slight. He's going to continue to work and improve his play strength."

Enunwa and Anderson both face the challenge this year of grasping Morton's West Coast-oriented offense. Dorrell described it as "more intricate" than the scheme used by Chan Gailey the past two years.

"It's more detailed on a lot of different things," Dorrell said. "It can be a detail about how your splits are, about where you are in the depth of a route. It's a system that operates where everybody has to do certain things for those particular plays.

"It's probably a little bit more intricate than what we've done the last two years. There's more variation [for the wide receiver position's responsibilities] than what you've seen in the last couple years. It takes more study time on their part."

Enunwa also recently said there aren't as many opportunities for receivers to freelance in Morton's offense as there were in Gailey's system.

"Last year, we were able to kind of switch up what the route was," Enunwa told NJ Advance Media. "You could kind of do certain things. But with this offense, you've really got to do what you're told. You've got to do exactly what is given to you. And when you do, plays are made."
