O.K., so I've been one of the many concerned about our receiving corp. However, every where I turn I read another camp story on the tremendous camp that Rech Caldwell is having, and frankly I am getting very pumped about it.

Are any of our other WRs getting praised at any level? This should be most of them, as guidance:

Branch, Deion 83 WR 5-09 193 27 5
Brown, Troy 80 WR 5-10 193 35 14
Caldwell, Reche 87 WR 6-00 215 27 5
Childress, Brandon 13 WR 5-10 185 24 1
Davis, Erik 19 WR 6-02 192 22 R
Henry, Keron WR 6-01 222 23 1
Jackson, Chad 17 WR 6-01 212 21 R
Kight, Kelvin 2 WR 6-00 213 24 1
Musinski, Rich 5 WR 6-01 195 25 1
Shelton, Matt 18 WR 6-00 172 24 R
Smith, Zuriel 19 WR 5-11 173 26 2
Stone, John 14 WR 5-11 180 27 2

Any insight??????????????????????????????????????????? ?

Sean Morey used to look great in camp every year, and sometimes in pre-season games. Those facts didn't even get him on the 53. It is early to believe that

1) Caldwell will be the seemless replacment for Givens,
2) Branch will come back and be healthy all year,
3) Brown will contribute much in the year after his projected retirement,
4) Jackson will be the exception and be a major factor as a Year 1 wideout, or
5) anyone else will step up
6) we have returners other than Brown, Faulk=, Hobbs and Pass

5 Rings for Brady!!

MgTeich: I'll take a crack at that!

1) Yes, unless Caldwell really is 'injury prone'.
2) Probably
3) Brown is the man, he'll look good this year as a back-up WR and CB
4) Jackson will do less than we think simply because rookie WR always have lowly stats
5) We will have TEs in the mix that contribute in the passing game
6) Willie Andrews nails down the kick return job

It's never to early to believe anything WILL happen. What you are looking for is assurance, and that won't come until mid-season or later.

Branch, Deion 83 - Number 1 guy
Brown, Troy 80 - Probably number 3 guy or checkdown guy when in the game
Caldwell, Reche 87 - Great chance to be #2 puts more pressure on himself than anyone on the coaching staff, great hands, good speed and
Childress, Brandon 13 - 5th WR option great hands good speed
Davis, Erik 19 - Cut/PS drops to many
Henry, Keron 1 - Chance to compete for 5th but probably wont make it
Jackson, Chad 17 - Going to be a guy that could be a number 2 one week but then a number 4 the next. He'll have a great year but its just the beginning
Kight, Kelvin 2 - Not enough to say anything about yet
Musinski, Rich 5 - Horrible
Shelton, Matt 18 - Dropping balls left and right looks to be over anxious
Smith, Zuriel 19 - Probably will be released nothing special
Stone, John 14 - the only guy that still has a chance to make the roster and who is fighting against Bam for #5

How i see it:
1 - Branch
2 - Caldwell
3 - Brown/Jackson
4 - Jackson/Brown
5 - Bam/Stone

outside shot Henry.

Branch holding out is the best thing that could have happened to Caldwell coming into camp and needing to prove himself.

This is the fatal error in holding out. The team still holds camp and someone else gets the reps. Obviously, Brady/Branch have a great chemistry and Branch will remain the number 1, but with Caldwell getting more balls thrown his way in camp it certainly has to expedite the process of getting comfortable in a new offense and could result in Deion having a few less thrown his way during the season as Tom grows to trust Reche.

I've only made it to three practices but Caldwell's looked good in all of them.

Stone might be a sleeper (sort of like Roach on the LBs). With the lack of depth, Stone might make the roster (or at least the PS).

Is Stone eligible for the PS? How many NFL games has he played?

Stone is a UDRFA. He can be placed on the PS.
