DAT placed on injured reserve

Thoughts?

Did that in the preseason, and I hope to never see that again.

I don't remember that but from the sound of it, it didn't turn out so well.

Ya. He doesn't have the acceleration and quick twitch. He has long speed so to speak.

We need to do something.

Watching Hammond JR. go out there and fail consistently is just as bad as watching he-who-shall-not-be-named marched out there time after time once he had lost his mojo.

Someone else doesn't have to be the answer - they just have to not be a problem...

Some guys just suck and aren't good enough. Fred Williams is that guy. It's not a conspiracy to keep him on the PS. He just plain isn't good enough to be on a roster.

I've always been fine with Avant, but Spencer Ware is a good counterpoint to your argument.

Not really. Ware's 3 years younger than Williams. He made an NFL roster his first year in the league. He was then signed to the Chiefs his 2nd year. Made the practice squad his first year with us, and was later activated and has played in games since then.

There's a huge difference between him and Fred Williams.

But this isn't the case. It's just flawed perception.

Hammond is averaging more per return than DAT, this season and last.

You can hate on Hammond all you want to but to say that DAT is a better returner is false.

Numbers don't lie.

I like Hammond. He was solid in return last year. This year he wasn't on a team this year for most of the season. He also was brought back in shitty weather games. With that said I wana see some improvement Sunday. Don't make dumbass decisions.

Making poor decisions is a byproduct of not seeing the field.

Personally, I think Hammond is a more than adequate returner and 5th/6th WR and with experience, he'll continue to improve and grow.

Regardless of what happens with DAT, I hope that spending draft picks and gadget players has come to an end.

I think he can be used like DAT too. Jet sweeps and short routes. I also would like to see Fred Williams get a shot this Sunday.
