Would you favor...

[Mr. Scot]

...elevating Brenton Bersin from the practice squad and demoting Philly Brown?

(keeping in mind that next week is the earliest that could possibly happen)

What other moves / changes / conditions would you add to this situation?

[CarolinaNCSU]

Much to the chagrin of the Huddle, if there are more drops this weekend I'd love to see Bersin moved back up.  He's not going to get YAC and doubt he can even get much separation. But if he can be reliable and move the chains? It's better than our speed guys with feet for hands. 

[nitroblast]

I'd rather keep Philly Brown. He didn't repeat his drops in-game, though I might reconsider if it starts happening again.

Also, would you mind not making topics with titles like:

Would you favor...

So our previous opponent...

A little appreciation for...

[L-TownCat]

Im so disappointed that I even have to find the keys on the keyboard to type this.

 

I dont care about speed or yac or verticals, I want catches.  That thing that Olsen does?  Yeah that.

[TheRed]

I was wondering about this as well, but Brown would have to clear waivers in order to make it to the practice squad.

Say what you want about Bersin, but his hands were generally always reliable.

[Mr. Scot]

I don't have the slightest clue why Bersin didn't make the roster. He had the most sure hands of any WR in the preseason. He had a better season last year then Norwood (and knows the playbook, as well), and surely could match the very little Philly did last week. He doesn't drop many passes and isn't as slow as he is made out to be. He'd be a nice compliment to Cotchery and Funchess. The only reason Bersin catches so much poo is because people just assume he is only on the team because he one of the owner's favorites, and not because he can, unlike half our WRs, actually catch the ball.

I think they believed Philly would get over his slump.

But he only had one catch I can recall last game, and today's practice news isn't encouraging either.

Brown didnt have any drops so Im not sure what this is about. Ginn on the otherhand had 2. Im not in favor of making changes based on 1 game. I am in favor of seeing more Funchess and Norwood.

I think we need a better balanced WR corps because currently the only player that can catch the ball on a consisent basis is our TE.. bersin has shown us that he is a pretty good possession wr and he needs to be on the team playing as the WR3.

[FuFuLamePoo]

let's give Philly some more time guys, I trust Bersin's hands but have no idea if he consistently would be able to get open

Also on that note he is not under any more pressure to return punts which is important for our and his sanity.

Norwood

I think most people are looking at this based on everything since training camp, including recent practices. Not just game 1.

[Murrican]

I think Norwood does the same thing, once he is ready. Plus more upside.

here is an idea....how about don't put either Philly or Bersin on the field. 

Get Funchess and Norwood on the field.  Sprinkle in some Ginn speed in some packages.  Rotate Cotchery in with them to give them breaks. 

and most importantly, run legit two TE sets and if Brandon Williams can't do it...then quit having him make the roster.  He is a physical freak that we keep bringing back and never use.
