Copper doesn't impress me much, but I want to see more of Horne before I make a call.

I am under the impression that our WR from Mass, Mr. Horne, looks to be a pretty good wideout so far. While I understand we're only halfway through the preseason, he was open a few times in game one, and had our only TD in game two. In limited action it appears the game isn't too big for him, he has good size, hands, speed and he might make a nice addition to our WR core. While I'm not sure his performace warrants a jump to 2nd or 3rd string, I will say that aside form special teams, he has a bigger upside than Copper. He certainly has shown me more in limited action than Long, Urban, and Lawrence.

My concern is that we're going to cut him and then try and and sneak him on the practice squad. This will not work. I'm going to be as disappointed as Hog Farmer with a barn full of sows if we do this becasue someone will sign him to their 53. Count on it.

I guess I haven't seen enough to say I think he's won a spot on the roster. I'm going to have to defer to the expertise of the coaches.

Every year it seems we have some WR that works his way into the hearts of fans during preseason. I can't think of many that actually went on to be anything.

I'd like to think that Horne is different, since he's doing everything right, not just making plays, and he has speed.

Seriously, Horne seems to have nice upside and Copper would look good in a Sacramento Mountain Lions uniform.

Pewter is sharp, however the answer is no. The Mountain Lions are black and gold.

I'm not against the guy per se, I just don't know what everyone has seen that has them thinking he's NFL material yet.
