We're gonna scraping the bottom of the barrel regardless.

 

If all we can hope for is a couple of guys who maybe did something several years ago then I'd just rather keep Brown or use Cason.

Those guys could be the difference between a huge mistake and field possession for the offense. I would much rather have a vet back there that looks comfortable fielding punts than a rookie who has already shown he has drop problems.

I'd say wait until the cuts tomorrow and Saturday, and then there would be a better gauge of things. 

 

I'm not opposed to using Philly, but I think that he may take a while to learn. I thought that while watching the game. Maybe he needs to sit back for about 8 weeks, really learn and grasp the offense/special teams/returner role, and we'll go from there. I do believe we need a stop gap, though.

 

Generally I think when it comes to the return game you either have it or you don't. Sitting him won't really do any good unless we plan on keeping him to contribute at WR possibly. Even when we signed Ginn there were a lot of people who didn't think he would contribute much.

 

IMO there are only maybe 2 or 3 guys out there worth even taking a look at right now.

Philly is your week one starting PR, Rivera just sad it in the post game interview

Then I assume we have old Ron back. The HC who makes the headscratching choices

Williams will probably open up at Tampa with our first 5 carries for 7 yards too

The only issue I have is the drops...granted he has done a fine job recovering all of them and staying with it...but that won't always be the case. Footballs don't always bounce your way. Would like to upgrade the position but I'm afraid we are stuck with what we've got.

People didn't think Ginn would contribute much as a WR

For the first time in years we went into that season with a solid returner

Yet Ginn may be on his way out of Arizona already.

 

Ginn was decent, but we've had such a terrible return game for so long that people have little standards for the position.

What the fug? Revising history to make your point. Nice. Ginn was more than "decent".

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
