Donny Avery Working out with Panthers tommorow

[Mr. Scot]

Considering Avery is more of a deep threat I see Tutu more at risk than Naanee

Definite possibility.

My gut feeling is that it's just a "let's take a look" type workout, honestly. Still...

[Sword]

could be that we don't have a good slot reciever option. Lafell and Naanee are both bigger guys, Armanti is unproven in the passing game.

[Tarheels23]

I'm not fond of Naanee at all, but one thing I've noticed from being at the game, is that he gets opened. I don't know how, but he does.

[Sloth]

Looking at possible PR alternatives with upside.

[rayzor]

I like that we are looking. I don't understand what about Rivera doesn't like about LaFell, but I like this workout. Let's see what happens.

why does it have to be about lafell?

apparently they are looking for someone to line up as the x receiver. that ain't lafell.

[Mr. Scot]

With the style of QB that Newton is, your best choices for receivers tend to be either very tall guys with great body control (essentially Greg Olsen in a wide receiver's frame) or super speedsters who can blow past people and always have at least one step on their coverage in case they have to adjust a little.

Avery falls under the second category. The big question though is how much speed he's receivered rehabbing from his injury.

If I was playing corner I wouldn't worry about him either!

Depth chart has Armanti Edwards behind Smith.

If you and Sloth are right, then he'd be the guy that might need to take note.

[Panthro]

St Louis is so devoid of WR talent that if they didn't want him I would be hesistant to make an offer

[jtnc]

Legudu always seems a little off, everytime Newton hits him he's not open or where he's supposed to be, I believe he's not running the routes well.

Naanee's big, and reasonably fast, but he doesn't get open consistently and has the body control of a toddler still learning to walk when he goes up for passes. That doesn't really work in our attack.

For chrissakes we got plenty of WR

For chrissakes we got plenty of WR

when gruden was in tampa they had plenty of QBs. didn't make any of them good.

not saying we got crap at WR, but if we can upgrade, we should. we could always improve.

[AceMan]

If Avery works out, you can say goodbye to Gettis methinks
