Corey Brown may be on roster bubble...

Brown is a lock in my book. 

[bigdog10]

Philly is a lock in my opinion. 

Say what you want about his hands, but he consistently gets open. Something none of our receivers did tonight. 

[Byrdman4real]

Philly is so much of a lock, it showed tonight!

Indeed.  We missed Philly out there tonight.  Norwood & Hill did nothing that I saw to help them gain a spot on the 53.

Pending something drastic, the WR battle is over:  KB, Funch, Ginn, Philly, Bersin & Byrd.  I think 6 is pretty much guaranteed to keep KB's snaps limited until he's really full go (he doesn't look it yet), and given Philly's shoulder...

No way Igo means that.  I'm sure he's referring to David Newton.  If only we knew how clueless he is / bad as a beat reporter.

I have been a philly brown critic before, but there is just no way. He is the best route runner on the team, when every else can't get open HE DOES. That's what we need.

Philly helped his case by not playing.

Pretty much. In fact, you could argue that the downside of having such big targets as your primary receivers is that you give the QB less incentive to be accurate with the ball. Big catch radius, yes, but you get too sloppy and behold, tipped ball or sailing it way over their heads with an interception being the end result. A receiver who is crisp with route running means it becomes more about placing the ball in just the right spot. It can help a QB keep focus about what they have to do. It keeps their wild arm in check, so that they throw pinpoint lasers to tight spots.

Basically, I feel like Philly keeps Cam honest and in similar turn, Olsen and Cotchery last year.

No he's not shut up with this talk.. Stop disrespecting my man philly b he's a made man already...

haha thats what I thought but... we do know how clueless he is

What is this, a joe person tweet? We got rid of Corey last year and replaced him with a much more reliable wr in Philly Brown. Philly is a lock

[juliosantos]

hes a lock he gets open better than any wr on this team , if we didn't cut him last year after he dropped everything we are not cutting him this season .
