I've got to go with Ebert. Love his tape and production and the potential with his speed and agility. Really rooting for the guy to make a push for a roster spot. Can't help but feel he won't clear waivers...I think he's shown a lot in camp and has decent numbers for the Big Ten and had a very good pro day in front of a number of teams (around 20).

I can't help but feel we're running out on time to develop a young receiver..if Edelman continues to show little we could be in a predicament in a year or so.

I think Ebert is the most likely denizen in "Binkiville" to clear waivers; certainly more likely than Ebner, Bolden, or Dennard.

How about some Board Bikinis for the slot guys?

Oh definitely...we thought that about Yeatman too though. Turn heads enough, which I think he did, and you'll be surprised. I think his production in the Big Ten and his measurables would have made him a highly sought after UDFA had we not taken him in the final round. I'm sure there'd be a lot of teams happy to have him on their PS.

Part of me wants us to take a gamble with a spot on a receiver as well. We have to start looking at tapping in to our younger guys. Others haven't panned out sadly so we have to keep trying. Next year could be a struggle at WR if the situation doesn't get sorted with Welker, a branch continues to age and Stallworth or Gaffney begin to regress with age.mwith no recover doing anything for us the right side of 30, gambles need to be taken.

Sadly, part of the price of success year after year is that your cuts are scrutinized more closely than other teams'.

Speak for yourself, my friend.

A lot of teams had competed with Bill The Mad (Genius) for Yeatman's services, so it was virtually guaranteed that he'd be scooped up, if Coach Bill was foolish enough to cut'm...as he was.

If anyone's curious, the Fish are converting him to O Tackle.

Here's hoping he'll make a success of it, and have a long and successfull career...14 weeks a year, anyway.

Ebner was everybody's binky before anyone here knew who he was. Such is the power of War Daddy.
