  1. We need a 3rd string. Simms?????

    Nope Cassel, he's better than AVP was when he was 3rd string to Flutie/RJ. Toss in he gives insurance just in case the regular season doesn't go as well as this preseason has. Yet most of all I don't want him ending up in New England if Brady can't go in the first 4 games because of the suspension.

  2. This thread kind of depresses me because we're gong to lose a receiver or two that I would like to keep.

     

    Then again, I'm happy we actually have real NFL caliber competition at a position.

    If the talk about Thompson is true, then Whaley might end up trading one of them for depth we need elsewhere (see TE, middle LB) or maybe a low round draft pick.

    Harvin is absolutely playing for us this year.

     

    I'm struggling between Hogan and Thompson for the sixth spot. Thompson has been better in TC and preseason, but our WR coach loves Hogan.

    If Hogan's healthy he's a far more proven player than Thompson yet with injury concerns in the top 3 I think you keep the healthy guy.

  3. Here's to hoping EJ ends up with numbers somewhat like this;

     

    1st Drive - 4/4, 45 yards passing, 0 rushing yards, Carpenter FG

    2nd Drive - 5/6, 55 yards passsing, 8 rushing yards, 23 yard TD pass to Thompson

    3rd Drive - 5/7, 50 yards passing, 12 rushing yards, 12 yard TD run by EJ

     

    As he exits, he has a final line of 14/17, 150 yards passing, 20 rushing yards, 2 TDs (1 rushing)

    Would this win him the job?

    It depends what do Tyrod and Cassel do?

  4. There are some TE needy teams like the Redskins who could pick him up off waivers before we can sign him to the PS. It sucks because he might just be a guy who needs time to adjust to the NFL. But, thems the breaks.

    The Redskins just flipped a 5th Round pick for a TE from San Fran. Am sure they'll explore a few guys in roster cuts but have to believe there will be better options than a 6th Round rookie that interest them.

  5. The worst part about Dalton is that the Bengals have to decide between paying him big bucks, or letting him go and starting all over.

     

    It's a big bite to swallow, but letting him go is probably what is best for the franchise. Maybe not right away, but definitely 3-5 years down the line.

     

    They'll probably keep him though since they dont want to make themselves look foolish, even though they ultimately will. They'll go off of the old Sunk Cost fallacy.

     

    edit: I forgot they already re-signed him to a 6 year deal with pretty big money. Not 1st tier, but big enough that you can't just cut him or move on. Yikes!

     

    He lucked out that they drafted AJ Green the same year. The kid has built a career on just chucking it to within 30ft of where ever AJ is supposed to be.

    Well Tyrod's got the chucking down, maybe once Watkins and him are on the field together we'll see some results.

  6.  

     

    Sure. As long as he isn't overpaid, he could help this team. I still would like them to take a run at Mathis. Who knows, maybe they have. But if he is going to play this year, it isn't likely to be for big money.

     

    This teams' OL depth scares the crap out of me.

    I posted the same thoughts after the 1st preseason game. I'm sure Whaley will be busy during first cuts to find someone as think we have seven saft bets in Glenn, Incognito, Wood, Miller, Henderson, Urbik & Kujo but after that we got nothing.

  7. FJ, O'leary, Duke, Easley, and Gragg, will be gone with Hogan to IR

     

    Carrington makes it but moves to DE

     

    I don't know who will be the third TE/H-back

     

    4th, 5th and/or 6th WR is anyone's guess now...

     

    The fourth safety is not on the roster now.

    I'm shocked that we didn't pick up D'wan Landry as to me he an ideal Jet castoff that van fill a void.

  8. Don't have his stats in front of me but I do know of the 4 drives he has led into the red zone we have had 2 TDs. I wouldn't say he struggling unless he puts up another 0-2+ night.

    He's 0-3 passing inside the twenty, Feel free to review his stuff at http://www.nfl.com/player/tyrodtaylor/2495240/profileThe two red zone TDs he led us on were because of Bryce Brown's stong run inside the twenty and Tyrod's run and "horse collar" penalty he drew against Carolina. Again I want to see Tyrod do it with his arm, he impressed me yesterday as going in I was 75/25 Cassel/Tyrod and now it's 50/50. I sound like being overly critical and maybe I am but feel have to be as it's easy to miss things when you watch with your heart and not your head.

  9. I don't understand why so many people love this guy so much. Everyone around here hates Marrone, yet they love the player that symbolizes his regime more than anyone else. This guy would have never seen the field with another coach. Maybe I'll just never recover from being upset by how many touches he got on plays such as screens last year. We traded for Sammy who is obviously far more gifted, and all the screens went to Hogan. He just doesn't have the talent you need in this league. I don't care how good he is at lacrosse. Made a nice catch in the Vikings game, but also drops a ton of passes in games. Fans are blinded by their desire to root for the underdog small college underdog guy that reminds them of their athletic pasts, and ignore how he actually plays in the game. Many have mentioned they fear him playing on the Pats. Sure, he'd make an impact with the Pats. Tom Brady would be throwing him the ball. I'd make an impact too.

    People can identify with him because he was featured on Hard Knocks, looks like a guy who developed himself into a no one to a decent option last year. Yet it doesn't mean he isn't replaceable. He's struggled this preseason and have little problem replacing him as think we've seen the most we can ever expect from him which is to be a #3 WR in the NFL.
