Kealoha pilares the quiet secret weapon.

[Gipetto]

With his halfback background and everyman mentality i see Pilares making that push towards the second man behind steve smith. With his recent TC performances it's going to be even more exciting to see him during the preseason. I expect him to surprise alot of people he reminds me of wes welker with a mix of danny woodhead.

Hes just now getting his opportunity in TC and from what i've seen hes turning into a weapon every is keeping quiet about.

He caught 88 passes last season and 15 touchdowns for the warriors while returning punts and kickoffs. Yes the warrior offense is pass heavy but being able to catch 88 passes with 4 other receivers on the field battling for the ball is something special.

I've been wanting to see this kid since the draft... very intriguing prospect and reminds me a lot of Smith.

Haven't heard too much about him from camp though.

Let's hope so.

I don't see where all the "Kealoha pilares is steve smith" stuff is coming from. The guy made some nice catches yesterday but is far from a lock to make the team. With armanti locking down a spot,i would say that put pilares behind the 8 ball. Can we see one preseason game before crowning him the next agent 89?

Because they're racists.

Not sure if I'd go as far as 2nd behind Steve Smith but he is intriguing. I have also said he reminds me of Welker in that he is your prototypical slot guy that can rack up those YAC.

I think he will go on the IR with a mysterious injury, and not play a down for us this year.

Um... who said that? I said he reminds me of Smith, mainly referring to his size and quickness... I just want to know how he's doing in camp.

I thought the same thing. Barnidge too. However, with Gettis's hamstring and knee....

I am going out on a limb. We will keep 6 WRs. Edwards, Pilares, lafell and possibly Naanee and Gettis have special teams possibilites. I see Pilares and Naanee as possible gunners. Lafell, Edwards, or Gettis as possible kick/punt returners. Makes more sense than keeping CJ Davis.

My take is this: If your backup OL can be kept on the PS (players like R. Pugh), then all you need at gametime is a player who can fill a spot in a pinch. Bernardeau can play center and both guards. Ziemba can play RT and possible RG, some say LT. Some teams do not have the luxury of keeping a reserve OL on the PS because they are older. Would you rather have Pugh + a roster spot or CJ Davis?

Pilares is my pick to be the #2 WR. He reminds me of Davone Bess. To have a place in NFL he is going to have to work hard. But with this WR core he has a real shot of getting PT early.

wasnt refering to you just saying in general.

If Gettis is hurt he'll get to show his skills.
