I Think Barnidge Should Get A Chance...

Maybe it's just my timing. But every TC I see Barnidge making big plays. I keep saying if he gets a chance with a decent QB it could pay dividends. I guess I'm in the minority but I think we should not bring Shockey back and give Barndige a chance. I know he got hurt last year so that's a moot point but he seems to imo to have much bigger game breaking potential than the current Jeremy Shockey. I do think Shockey is a better TE but not by that much anymore. Anyone else agree?

I don't think he's incapable. I just don't think there's reason to believe other wise.

Of course he's going to get a chance. What makes you think otherwise?

Yep...have to deliver it on the field. He has not shown this in the past, but that is probably due to the scheme that Fox ran with the TE. He definitely has the size, speed, and athleticism to be a real weapon. Also, he did flash that in TC last year.....so I am anxious to see what he can do.

He is getting one...training camp hasn't even started. Hes under contract, whats the problem?

I think if Shockey is brought back that it would not be a fair chance so to speak. Shockey is a veteran, has name recognition and probably will make 3-5 times as much as Barnidge. I know coaches say best player on the field etc.etc but other factors have to be taken into consideration.

I disagree. Yes they want Shockey back, but barnidge is MUCH younger and will have the opportunity to compete for a spot on this team this season and beyond. I firmly believe that.

If Shockey is brought back, why would we be thinking about Barnidge?

I agree, I got a little slack from a few huddlers when I said that I thought Barnidge was just as good as Shockey, as far as his pass catching ability, without the experience and nastiness.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
