How we went from a talentless WR Corp (minus SS) to over abundance of talent in 2+ yrs is absolutely amazing.

 Obviously it is far too soon to tell but I wouldn't say there are locks outside of KB and Funchess.  I think Ginn is a near lock but not 100%. Ginn is on the 2nd year of a two year deal.  Byrd, Brown  and HIll are speedsters and I wouldn't put it past Gman to make a decision to keep someone other than Ginn.

Don't get me wrong I think Ginn was a key part of our offense but he isn't irreplaceable.. It is very possible that those preseason drops might make a difference this year..

 

He's also got that whole punt return thing going for him. That helps his chances.

Nope, took a personal day off. Not sure what was up. 

How does one take the first day off?

This is a good fix for my FB addiction as time slowly crawls toward training camp. Love the pics.

If Hill can pull it together, we're going to have to make some tough decisions.   I would be on board with keeping 6, Benji, Funchess, Hill, Byrd and Ginn and hopefully Garrett can be retained on the practice squad.  I just don't think Philly is that good or brings much to the table, and neither does Bersin.  The Broncos showed the game plan to beat us, and what we need is more speed/players that can't be single covered.

Didn't Philly have a huge long pass play against the Broncos? The one where Talib literally had to try to rip his head off to stop him from scoring.

Brown might not be much of a return man but he is just as dangerous as Ginn.  I think he has better hands and runs better routes.   Furthermore, Brown is much younger.

Not a Ginn hater but I said last year I thought we didn't need Ginn back with Brown.  Fortunately for us we didn't have to choose because KB went down.  Look at it this way.  Ginn has peaked, Brown is only going to get better. 

Love the idea that we don't have 5 locks and 8 wannabes.  We have some serious competition and over the next couple of months the cream is going to rise to the top.   I will be happy with whoever they choose because honestly I don't think we lose with any combination.

Who would have thought by 2016 teams would be watching our roster to see who we are going to cut at the WR spot.

Odds are at least one of these guys gets hurt before the season so it's nice to have some quality depth

he was serving talib an ass whupping before he got injured.  among other much-bitched-about factors that was one of the differences in the game i think.

That sounds vaguely familiar but I can only picture his 86 yard touchdown against the Cardinals in the NFC championship.
