Guess who's dropping passes and guess who's making it look easy

I'm probably totally wrong but with Chandler and Williams out for this week doesn't that free up a spot?  Ideally you would have two lineman to step up but..do we have two?  I know we just signed Velasco.

Chandler is now out for the season on IR.  He was replaced on the 53 by Velasco.  Doubt Velasco will be inactive on Sunday given how thin we are on Oline.

Williams will be inactive on Sunday, presumably along with Brockel, and quite probably Luke.  Still need to find 4 other roster guys to deactivate.  Marlowe & Wegher likely to be two of those.  The tough call is who else?  Last week it was Norwood & Mayo who were also inactive.  I'm betting if Luke is out this week Mayo will be active...

Cam and the offense walking around the locker room... dropping anonymous hints like...

I think that day might just be coming, but I sense it's still a few weeks away.

I think that at some point this year if Brown continues to struggle, we might see Funchess and Cotchery starting, with Norwood being the #3 and Ginn coming in if we need more of a long ball threat.  The staff is going to want at least one veteran starting at receiver and Cotchery has played fairly well so far.

fug it. was never high on the guy like other people, but bring in hakeem nicks before the cowboys get him.

You must have heard of Riverboat Ron Rivera ?

The Cowboys already tried him out, and apparently declined, choosing instead to trade for Brice Butler.

Saints also tried out Nicks, and likewise passed on him.

I won't be surprised if he sees multiple tryouts this season, but doesn't end up on anyone's roster.

I been very fair with philly but he just sucks. Please give norwood a chance

Philly made 2 pretty good catches week 1. One where he was blasted from behind nearly simultaneous to when the ball got there. He wasn't a world beater against Jacksonville but it was a marked improvement over his preseason form.

It cracks me up how Olsen routes always look "forced" and not fluid at all but come game day he gets open somehow.

Someone else quoted Proehl as saying that Norwood is perceived as slower than he actually is because he runs so smoothly.

I don't honestly care if they look like this when they run...

...as long as they get open and catch the ball.

Revising Rivera's quote:

Corey drops the ball, Philly drops the ball

[Mr. Scot]

yea Nicks, Moore, Kenbrell or Wayne are not better than who we already have. 

 

(sarcasm) 

Reggie Wayne pretty much let everyone know he was done when he asked to be released from the Patriots.  There's speculation he'd play in the "right situation" but even if that's true (and I doubt it) that's not us.

People overrate Kenbrell Thompkins because he was on the Patriots, forgetting they dumped him in midseason last year and the Raiders dumped him this year.  Now he's on the New England practice squad.  He's really nothing special.

Denarius Moore has gotten hyped by a couple of guys on this board, but the Raiders also dumped him in the offseason and the team he signed a free agent contract with (Cincinnati) decided guys like Mario Alford and Greg Little were better options than Moore.

And Nicks?  Yeah, that discussion's been had.  Nobody else seems to want him that badly right now either.
