Possible guys to bring in to fill the WR void?!?! - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

no worries.

gabriel and jackson, along with caldwell and brown will do just fine.

if anything they may find a david patten type move down the road,
but I'm sure these guys will be fine.

He's about the only option I like. Kind of wasted away in Cleveland, then I thought he did well for Steelers when he played, not sure why he was cut.

Anyway, I read he was working out with Minny (I think?) or another team and was close to signing. I'd love him in Pats uni as a WR5/6.

Jerry Porter won't be let go for a first round pick by Al Davis and I think if we got into a starring contest with Al Davis he won't budge, just the kind of prick he is.

What about Charles Rogers?
Or even Jimmy Smith? It worked for Seau, what are the odds he comes out of retirement to win a ring?

Paul Warfield, Otis taylor?

Faulk was lined up at WR from the getgo on his great TD catch and still a LB shifted over to cover him. I think the matchups follow the player for the most part. Faulk would never start at WR, but in a three or four WR set, he'd still most likely get his favorable LB matchup, IMO.

We are getting Jackson and Gabriel back (I THINK?!), so hopefully there won't really be a void. If you still call that a void, then there's no way any of the FAs out there is going to fill it.

I thought that he started out lined up near the slot and motioned out wide. I thought that he was covered by a LB because the coverage had been set and the LB just stayed with him as he motioned.

Can anyone confirm whether I am right or wrong? I would hate to by shown up by this Brown guy twice in one week.

Stop It!!!

Give the guys we have a chance. These guys on the street are there for a reason.

If we get desparate bring back Stanley Morgan and Irving Fryar.

Jeezzz!!!

I didn't but that still leaves 5-70, or thereabouts. If Stallworth can be solidly productive, our guys should be able to be also especially with all the attention the defense will have to give to the RB/TE.

You may be right, I was pretty drunk by that point in the game.

EDIT: But either way, if he was in the slot he's lined up as a WR still drawing a LB in coverage. That'd be enough to get him away from those pesky CBs.

Whither Tyrone Calico? He showed some promise his rookie year then got hurt and just fell off the face of the earth after that. he must be a wreck if no one is giving him a sniff...
