Ruins him as pick for me, we already have receivers working on this project, who needs one more?
I absolutely agree Train, we've got more than enough projects" thank you....it's time for producers, this is a (potential) make or break year for many players including; Quick ( running outta time, IMO), Pead (we need producers NOT pretenders, get your head straight), Cook (what happened after game 1?), and finally (I'm sorry to say) Bradford (potential, promise, great guy, accurate (but where's the beef?)....TBD! And yes, even our friend Saffold (can he stay healthy?)
Speaking about healthy, for all you folks who are stuck on Stacy as the bell cow or at least primary RB......he's short, runs with power and finishes all his runs with head forward (love em), BUT, he's not the size (IMO) that can take the pounding 25 or 30 carries a game for 16+ games. I'm sorry, but I just don't believe he can hold up to the pounding....therefore, we need a 2nd RB that can share the load (EFFECTIVELY).
As for our WR's, personally, I'm tired of the excuses for this group as well. We know there's potential with this bunch, but there's little doubt we need a "primary receiver" who can draw double coverage and stretch the field (hopefully with SIZE).....WHO IS THAT PLAYER? Givens must step up his game THIS SEASON (along with Quick). To those who repeatedly suggest that Tavon should be used as a running back.....perhaps against defenses that can't cover the edge effectively, but (IMO) as with Stacy, his size STRONGLY suggests this strategy risks unnecessary injury. I'm no offensive genus, but it seems clear to me that Tavon's bread and butter resides in only one place (offensively) and that is "IN SPACE". We know what he can do, why subject him to further abuse ? For my money, other than the slot and as a 3rd of 4th receiver (plus punts returns & an occasional K.O.), it's a mistake to put him at risk as a RB out of the back field (except for an occasional keep em honest carry).
I was tempted to comment about the "D", but honestly, I believe we're looking at a top 5 defense and look forward to both Quinn and Long's record setting season, along with help from Brockers of course.
Peace.
