The EXTREMELY Official Adopt a Sophomore Binky Thread

[JSn]

So thinking over the rookies from last year, I think it's time we adopt out the sophomores as Binkies. Multi-parent families are a-ok.

Mayo is ineligible.

Your options:

Vince Redd
Bo Ruud
Matt Slater
Shawn Crable
Tyson DeVree
Gary Guyton
Jonathan Wilhite
Terrence Wheatley
BenJarvus Green-Ellis
Kevin O'Connell (with a side order of tarred-and-feathered)

Tell us why and what your hopes are for the guy as his adoptive Binky-master.

For me, the clear choice is Gary Guyton. I believe he will destroy the competition in camp at ILB and start at the position this season, probably at game one. I'm expecting a solid camp and I believe he is intent on maximizing his strength this off-season to increase his run support.

I shall call him Scary Gary Guyton, or "Mr. Fibre" as I expect him to immediately clear up irregularity in all those that line up across from him.

I think the easy ones are Guyton, Whilhite, Wheatly because they actually contributed last year.

But I am going with everyones binky from last year Matt Slater. Everyone was in love with him in camp last year and despite a fumble in one of his only returns he otherwise was actually pretty good on STs. He is versatile as he can play FS and WR and as it sits right now he is like 5th on the WR depth.

I think he will continue his role as contributer on special teams and as scary as it sounds maybe he even takes on the KR duties. Plus maybe he can stay number 5 WR even though we are sure to bring in another player there.

Edit: and I dont know about binky but I think he will improve.

I'll take Mayo - His ineligibility is irrelevant.

Dude, that's like picking a bear to win a cage-fight against a blind midget... err... little person.

Ditto on Slater. I never did get to see that "3rd gear" on kick off returns.

Wilhite and Wheatley are both very tempting, but I'm going to go with Crable. We saw basically nothing from him last year- if he can come in and contribute this season, it would be huge for the LB corps.

I have to get on this train..... Crable is my Binky!

Crabes/Wheatley for guys who didn't really get on the field last season. Guyton otherwise. That said, I've never outgrown binkies as I never even needed one. /sternface

ditto - i WANT crable to be the surprise binky!! we need him to be.

but i agree w jsn that guyton is MOST LIKELY to come out strong. the guy is fast fast fast, and with some good second year heft added thru "nfl nutrition" should be able to play on first and second downs too

Crable. They desperately need a pass rush.
