Chiefs Messing with bull and losing the Horne - Page 2

Red Beans · 08-24-2010, 09:02 AM

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.

Sippio was/is slow, Horne isn't.

Yeah, but is Horne Bowe's cousin?

That's what I thought.

Copper or Horne? Copper or Horne?

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

Keep Horne.

Piss on Copper...

Horne gets open.

WIDE OPEN.

WIDE OPEN DEEP.

It's not his fault we don't have a QB that can hit him in stride...

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.

WRs work into the hearts and minds of fans by performing well in preseason games. It gives them hope that our WRs may not be as bad as everybody thought.

That's the problem. Doing well against another team's future training camp cuts isn't proof of future NFL success.

I'd like to think that Horne is different, since he's doing everything right, not just making plays, and he has speed. But I really can't say for sure.

I know everybody hates Copper, but he's the only WR that actually brings something to the final 53 roster. So far Urban has been his usual inconsistent self that he's been with the Cards. I've already posted this, but it seems that he's the odd man out.

THE GREEN HORNEtte

Copper's role on this team is obvious...he's the guy that runs back to tell Arenas not to run the kickoff out of the endzone. How could anybody else do that?

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

This would be nice since NO ONE at WR currently has any...

Do they include pewter in the unis?

I kinda' like the pewter...

**buddha** · 08-24-2010, 11:14 AM

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

jspchief · 08-24-2010, 11:31 AM

So Horne has speed, but do we really know if he has hands? No one is going to be scared by a deep threat that can't catch.

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.

Has he had a ball hit him in the hands yet?....
