Just more silly adherence to old, traditional rules giving veterans more playing time over young guys despite the suckage. This is nonsense. It should be best man for the job!!!! If you can’t cut it, then get off the field!!!! Why am I using so many exclamation points like Nabbsy?! LOUD NOISES!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Mike Wallace is an interesting name, wasn't he a headcase though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
808 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Just now, Danger said: Mike Wallace is an interesting name, wasn't he a headcase though? No thanks to Wallace. We'll look to the draft at WR, most likely. Hollins is a core special teamer and package only player right now. Maybe with the offseason to grow things can change. Torrey should be gone this offseason, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I haven't seen enough of Hollins, but odds are he would be one of the weaker starting WRs in the league. I'd like for us to look for a speedster in the draft. Wouldn't mind another Torrey Smith type of signing, low risk high reward vet signing. Need to put all the weapons we can around Carson. A guy who can take the top off defenses is what we're missing most on O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 What the O really needs are players a WR and an RB that create after the catch. There is not enough of that on tge roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm sorry but in the limited reps Mack has gotten on Offense he seems to always make the play. Hollins has been targeted 22 times, caught 16 of them for 226 and 1TD. Not sure why people are hating so much? His 14 YPC is more then Alshon, Agholor, Smith, Ertz! He'll does he lead the team? Got tired of checking. I Think he'd be fine and a sneaky fast deep threat. One with Size that could highpoint the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now our #2, plays in the Slot and or TE Not outside! Doubt that changes regardless of who they bring in. I "edited" aka omitted the "burner" part because Jordan Matthews wasn't a burner.

I am happy for the guy for proving us all wrong. The more exciting thing to me is that WRs typicaly have a 3 year development curve. Can't wait to see what he does next season if he keeps developing.

I like Mack Attack as much as anyone but they should bring in someone to compete with him for the spot. To just rely on him with that limited sample size is irresponsible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 it will be interesting to see Mack and Marcus Johnson next year, they are bigger bodies. They both can run once they get going. However I'm not sure if that type of player will add to Alshon or actually hinder. I think a smaller slot guy/route runner is needed, someone that can lineup in the slot and run those little option routes. Whether that's Gibson/Treggs/ Ward...Agholor was the #2 he just lined up inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chances of Shelton Gibson developing into a good WR are about the same as Donnell Pumphrey developing into a #1 RB. We need to draft James Washington, Christian Kirk, Tre'Quan Smith, or Jordan Lasley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
