Who should be the third WR?

[Hammock Parties]

I'd say Kennison and Samie Parker have the #1 and #2 spots nailed down...who should be the #3?

Just think, if Carl would get off his rear, we could have Andre Rison in here before Sept.

It's my understanding that players get second opinions all the time and I don't think there is much reason to believe that the coaching staff/management would hold anything against him other than a lack of results.

Not to be argumentative but Grandpa Dick has already publicly stated that Fred-Ex would be back on the field and playing if he had listened to the front office and had the knee worked on. Not having the knee worked on means no field time for him. No field time for him means he's going to be cut.

“The thing about the National Football League is it doesn’t stop to wait for somebody. It just keeps on going. Freddie and I met yesterday and the sooner he gets back the better opportunity he has to compete. But you can’t be competitive when you’re not on the field.” - Dick Vermeil

Not impressed with him as a colossal understatement. Shame on you for even mentioning his name.

I don't hate you, I just question your sanity!

Dante Hall against most teams 3rd corner simply can not get open, which is the reason he rarely catches anything other than those quick hitters, or WR screens.

I think it depends a lot on down and distance, assuming that Horn even makes the team.
He appears to have the most reliable hands among our receiver corps (though Samie showed me something last season), which would make him a good receiver in 3rd and short.

I think this is Bo's make or break season.
We'll see how it works out.

I voted for Crap, because Crap pizzes of TRR. He hates it when you call him Crap.

Did I mention TRR does not like it when you call him Crap.

But in the end, if Mitchell is cut, it will be because he didn't get back on the field and prove his worth, not because he defied the coaching staff and management. If he had defied them but successfully returned to dazzle them with his ability on the field, he'd make the team. That's my only point. Not that he won't be cut, but that it won't be specifically because of defiance.

I don't think there's really much difference between what we are saying, it's just that we are saying it in two different ways. Things don't look good for Freddie, which disappoints me because I think a healthy FredEx would have been useful to the team.

I don't think anyone has stood out, but I also don't know that anyone has really had an opportunity to stand out, with the way the #2 o-line has blocked, and the way the backup QBs have thrown.

Although, to be honest, I'm not sure Kris Wilson isn't the best option. He seems as sure-handed as anyone else, his flexibility (ability to line up all over) is advantageous and his size is a plus.

If I'm limited to "pure" WRs, then I'm not sure. I'm not convinced Richard Smith can do it with the lights on. I don't think Dante Hall will ever thrive as a WR, and I think he should focus on returns even if he could. Boerigter and Thorpe haven't shown me anything and Mitchell hasn't done anything in practice or on the field.

One thing about our offense, is it's still going to be unstoppable.

We can do anything we want. Last game, DV and AS wanted to see how Samie would do, he caused havoc. This game, they wanted to get Kennison involved, he shined...etc, etc. They can do whatever they want, and it's great. They pick it, and they do it. It's awesome. Some people would say after the preseason games, "why didn't this guy get anything, is he struggling or something?" That's not the case at all. They go into these preseason games, not with a gameplan, but just wanting to see how certain players are doing and where they are at...and it happens. Great stuff.

Bo for size, speed.
