Adam Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 While I'm not sure I buy this argument, I think that even if we risk losing something on ST, we have to do it. Our offense is atrocious; we need more playmakers. If I'm Turk, I have 10 plays specifically designed for Parrish. I see him as similar to Cleveland's Josh Cribbs, who also isn't a very good WR. I know the physical talent is there, but you can say the same for Rob Johnson. Sometimes the ability just doesn't translate.

I know the physical talent is there, but you can say the same for Rob Johnson. Sometimes the ability just doesn't translate. That's where we differ. I view Cribbs and Parrish as two completely different players. Note that Cribbs never played receiver--I think we was a QB in college, and his only value is as a kick returner. Parrish, on the other hand, is more of a pure receiver--and his body type is really well-suited to play in the slot. He's a receiver and should be utilized more as a receiver. If Parrish scores 8 TD's as a WR this year, I'm sure you're not going to complain.
Rock'em Sock'em Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 what kind of player do you need? I cant get it to go. 6' 4", 230, cannon arm, fake mustache. Yeah, that'll work.

If Parrish scores 8 TD's as a WR this year, I'm sure you're not going to complain. It all depends- did he score 8 TD's and cause five sacks and 3 interceptions by not running a crisp route? We have a young, developing QB and a couple holes on a line that is getting better. If he is going to play WR, he has to play the position correctly. I see the smae things in him that I did when he played at Miami, except that you can't get by just on talent at this level
Zulu Cthulhu Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Marshall Faulk makes me want to puke - hear that little comment he made about our O-line on the Lynch play? Don't have the link but can someone confirm that before last season he predicted us to win 3 games at the MOST (i swear that was it)? And they pay this a$$bag??!! Last I checked our O-line last year was the best we had in a while (I know it's not saying much)

Last I checked our O-line last year was the best we had in a while (I know it's not saying much) Our line wasn't great, but our left tackle was a stud. I sure hope he recovers from the injury and returns to form. If he can stay healthy, he's a lock to make the wall of fame
