Messing with bull and losing the Horne

[Red Beans]

Ok, I know that the title of this thread is utterly reeruned. I am aware of it, so let's talk football.

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.

And when one of our receivers goes down at least we'll have copper to replace him . Mr. 4 ****in catches in 2 years! Horne got open in that first game ,DOWN FIELD, you know where if our constipation of a QB could have thrown it to him it just might have gotten a touchdown.

I don't think Copper was around blocking for Arenas while he was setting return records in College. You say he sprung Arenas. I say he was in his way and Arenas had to go around him .

He got open and failed to adjust to the ball or make an adequate attempt at catching the ball. Did you see the way McCluster laid out to try and grab the ball on Horne's TD catch? I hope Horne did, because that's the kinda effort he shoulda put forth on that deep pass in week 1.

Oh, and a WR goes down, we simply activate Horne from the PS.

I saw that. And we typed our two posts at almost exactly the same time. We must have saw the play pretty much the same way, as did a couple of other folks according to the other thread.

My money says he won't clear waivers. There lies the issue.

I'll betcha he does. There's a receiver like him on every team.
