Medlock makes both with plenty of room to spare. Safe to say hes had the longer leg of the two of late

quite a few times over the weekend the ball just sounded different coming off Medlocks foot

as compared to Mare's.

Butthurt? He has never made an NFL catch.

yeah, i myself am eagerly anticipating another stellar year of him getting out of the field and running around like a real WR to not have anything land in his hands and for him to be that solid PR guy that always catches the ball and then falls on the ground.

ugh.

dwayne jarrett was more productive.

[rayzor]

nvm

Steve Reed ‏@SteveReed_AP

WR Steve Smith getting treatment under the tent. Doesn't appear to be very serious.

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9

I'm locked in on him. Call me LockSmith *crickets* RT @jamos14:@jjones9 Please give us a Smitty update as soon as you can confirm.

[Floppin]

I'm going to stop shitting up the twitter thread with AE argument though. I just wanted to point out that the butthurt will be strong when he makes the team, and based on the anti AE brigade coming out in force, this observation is right on point.

[nosuchthingasapanther]

edwards will never amount to anything in the nfl because he is afraid to get hit. period.

Smith up and walking. He's on the field now but no helmet

[rayzor]

One of the butthurt! lol :D

yeah, the laugh at the guy who isn't excited about a whole nother year of nothing from edwards. maybe this year is the year he catches a pass! who will be laughing then? huh?

[jtnc]

Why the fug does Smith have to participate in OTA's? Especially in padded practice.

[rayzor]

Talent doesn't mean poo. If he outperforms one of those six, and the coaches think he can perform better in a game, then he will make the team over one of them. Saying "it doesn't matter what he does" is complete mularky, because if he does better than other receivers he's going to make the team. The coaches don't hold personal grudges or biases like our fanbase.

grudge? against a guy who has been on the roster doing absolutely nothing for two years?

so people shouldn't be pissed about having a guy that has talent up a roster spot for two years that has absolutely nothing to show for it? they shouldn't be upset at the idea of him being on the roster for another year doing the same thing hes done since he got here? lol

[jtnc]

Right Rayzor, other people deserve that spot.

[Sloth]

Those six haven't showed that talent in camp! :o

Ok then, where does he fit?

Smith, LaFell, Pilares and Adams are locks.

He's never produced as a WR during games, where Murphy and Gettis have. Hell, Tutu has shown more as an actual receiver during real games and has been alternating with Murphy as the #3 getting first team reps. We just drafted a replacement PR because he's horrible at it.

More power to the guy, but I don't see where he fits.

Edit: Just realized I was replying to Hokebuck. FML.

Pretty sure I said that I was done cluttering up this twitter thread arguing over something that doesn't matter. No one is going to change mine or your mind on this topic except the eventual outcome. I was just pointing out that when he makes the team, which I believe that he will, that the meltdown is going to be of epic proportions. Whether you want to admit that you have an anti-Armanti bias for one reason or another is irrelevant. If he makes this team it's because the coaching staff believes that he can contribute more than the other WR's that they brought in to compete. Rivera has not show any favoritism towards other wastes of space and if AE makes the team it's because Rivera has plans on using his as a WR.

I don't think AE makes this team as a PR or ST player. If he makes the team they are going to use him as the 3rd or 4th WR option. He's not going to make the team as the 5th or 6th WR on the depth chart as those spots will go to Adams and Pilares as they will be used primarily as returners.
