Tuesday Roster Moves: Davis to PUP, Wright and Taylor to IR

[tattoorhino]

I watched Martin in training camp everyday until he hurt hois finger and that guy can play. He caught everything thrown his way and ran good clean fast routes. I really hope they find a spot for him and maybe he can light it up Thursday night.

I also wanna change the subject for a minute to an experiment I will be glad is over if it ever is and thats the Nick Hayden experiment. This guy just plain out sucks. He isnt big enough to play the run and not fast enough to pass rush. last year he was on roller skates and it was pitiful. Time to end this experiment as well.

With all of this talk about failed expirements, I can't believe that no one has brought up how happy they are that the Jamie Kennedy Expirement is over.

When talking about Dwayne Jarrett's lack of field time, I don't think it was because they kept forgetting to send him out on the field. I hate to not give a guy a second chance, but he's had three years now and well... nada, zip, bupkiss.

Basically, the dude has just been more of a major drain on the Gatorade and hasn't been good enough to even be called on every game to keep the bench from flying up in the air. You get that? Hasn't been good enough even with our desperate passing game, to even get to sniff the field most weeks. You know, as in, didn't buy him a plane ticket to the away games, still has his name on tape over his locker, etc...?

I'm not trying to make too much fun of him, but really, it's time for him to be someone else's project.

My worry on Jarrett:

Out of shape? That's fixable.

Lazy? That's fixable (can be difficult to fix, but is fixable)

Dumb? Not so fixable.

In an offense for three years and still sometimes needing to be told where to line up? That's either too lazy to put in the work of learning the playbook, or just plain dumb.

If it's the former, then he has a shot. If it's the latter, get what you can for him and move on.

To be too dumb to play football is really disappointing. QB is one thing. MLB or Safety another. But WR, come on!

He's actually a fan of the Panthers and plans to do a Panthers-based prank show. It's called, "You got X-Clowned."

Not only are we losing a very good special team ace in Wallace Wright but he was destined to be our 4th wide receiver.

I was pulling for him and really hated to see this happen.

Very similar players. Going into camp, the only way I thought we would keep 6 WRs was if Wright or Martin stepped up as a receiver while also looking good in special teams coverage. After the (lack of) performance by the entire WR crew so far, there's no telling what they'll do.

Remember that Fox has been known to put only three "true" wide receivers on the active roster, with a 4th receiver who is really just a special teams player (Hankton). It would not surprise me if they elect to use Rosario and/or Barnidge some in the WR spots on passing downs, and go with 4 on the active roster. They have to protect Edwards even though it's obvious he won't play any, at least not for a while.

Strangely enough, according to the stats lines for the preseason, Edwards has the most catches of all the receivers on the roster. He might be sitting higher on the depth charts than folks think.

Thursday night's game will tell the tale hopefully. Maybe someone will break from the pack, Lord knows that we need it.

I think they are the same boat, but that is just me

As a WR I think that Edwards has done fairly well. Especially as the pre-season has progressed, the first game he was shaky but these last two he has at least caught what was thrown at him. He also had the field awareness to come back to Moore when he was in trouble, which isn't anything spectacular but for a guy new to WR it was heads up.

Now as a KR I think he sucks balls and doesn't need to be out there on PR. Seriously that is probably the hardest position on the field to play. I don't know why someone thought that he could do it right away.

I think that the PRing is clouding some peoples judgements of him. Not to say he is a #2 or worth what we gave up for him, yet, but he does look decent.
