Very cool

[Kakarot]

I like, I like. 

 

[Ricky Spanish]

Aww yay, I like when we bring good dudes back in this capacity.

there's your "vet receiver" in the film room... without signing a new receiver to the roster

don't see any other big WR moves this offseason

This is interesting considering that Proehl stepped down.  Maybe Cotchery has more of the coaching chops?  No one ever doubted Ricky's knowledge, but I wonder if he wasn't hard enough on Funchess and Benjamin?  Maybe too buddy-buddy for them to really be pushed?

Cotchery is also a very knowledgeable former player.  More brains in the room won't hurt.  Especially as the new WR coach coached college RBs (not sure how that makes sense as a transition?).  Or is it that the new coach will be the discipline and Cotchery will be the knowledge?  And there might be more plans for the WR coach in the future?

Or am I completely full of poo?  (Maybe?)

Great hire. Would love to see Peanut as assistant DB coach.

Lol. Yeah, okay.

Again, it must suck to have a negative outlook on every single move.

I like it. The WR corps as a whole played better than expectations when he was here.

not a negative outlook in the least... I fully expect Ginn to return, especially considering Gettleman saying talks are occurring already.  Ginn knows going elsewhere isn't in his best interest, won't cost the team much and isn't a pressing need to get the deal done right now

that gives us KB, Funch, Byrd, Ginn and whatever happens with Brown... I think Gettleman is fine with that roster and doesn't foresee the need for any big signings, and I would agree with him if so

Which definitely explains why Cruz was brought in for a visit almost immediately?

We are going to add to the WR position this offseason.

That is actually just filling an empty coaching position.
