YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anyone else surprised by this? He was a 3rd pick last year @AroundTheNFL: Steelers announce they've released Dri Archer, claimed WR Jacoby Jones.

Big C Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hmmm, knew about dat speed, but haven't heard about him at all since the season started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Also Jacoby Jones? He was awful in SD this year as a PR. Ended up with like -4 yards before he just got cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Releasing an RB after Bell went down? Who else do they have outside of Williams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Releasing an RB after Bell went down? Who else do they have outside of Williams?they signed Isaiah Pead, I think. Speed can be overrated if the guy can't play (Reference: T.J. Graham) yeah - just interesting that they gave up so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I thought he looked good in pre season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Yes, but a different definition of "can't." I'll give Harvin a pass on this but even when Goodwin is healthy it just means he's about to get hurt again. The guy hurts himself running 90% of the time without the ball even being near him.

YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Crazy that they actually drafted Archer (3rd round) ahead of Martavis Bryant (4th rd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy hurts himself running 90% of the time without the ball even being near him. That's why the Olympics are perfect for him - he can only run a few seconds before something goes wrong. And no touching is allowed! Crazy that they actually drafted Archer (3rd round) ahead of Martavis Bryant (4th rd) It goes to show what a crap shoot the draft is, and why it's so hard to build a good team.

BobbyC81 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Also Jacoby Jones? He was awful in SD this year as a PR. Ended up with like -4 yards before he just got cut. And San Diego cut him after Keenan Allen was put on IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) And San Diego cut him after Keenan Allen was put on IR. yep - after signing him to a 2 year 5.5 mill contract this past FA.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 He looked terrible last week. I think he returned three kicks and never made it past the 15-yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
