A pattern that isn't what the best teams do. Bill Belichick would disagree with you. He has a clear pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I probably would have looked at Aldrick Robinson.. he had some good plays when he was here Aldrick Robinson couldn't even make the Panthers squad.

Having a pattern isn't a problem, having a pattern of aiming for floor over ceiling, imo, is. I see the Pats go for it on 4th a lot, and also throw more than a three yard pass on third an long. I'm not sure what you are arguing.... Heck, they signed Brown, aiming for ceiling..... Edited September 24, 2019 by PrplChilPill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCountryEvo Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) I'd like us to get Garçon as well.. Treadwell knows the offense and acts as a bridge while a more competent receiver (Garçon) learns the playbook. Treadwell acts as a solid blocking WR if needed, and emergency backup. Go ahead and IR Beebe, and if either him or Doctson look healthy enough to return from IR later on, then bring them back and drop Treadwell. I also would be open to bringing Sherels back at this point. He isn't the returner he was in the past, but he isn't a liability. He's also a solid coverage guy, and I would assume he's at least as good as Nate Meadors (who would be dropped to make room for Sherels) if we needed him to play a bit of defense.

I'm not sure what you are arguing.... Heck, they signed Brown, aiming for ceiling..... Over the last 2 years, the Vikings and Patriots have gone for it on 4th down the same amount of times...28. And certainly, you could argue that the Patriots "aim for the ceiling" by signing guys like Brown...but they've probably failed more often than they hit on it...for every Corey Dillon, there's a Ochocinco, Brown, Adalius Thomas, and Reggie Wayne (yes, he signed with the Patriots and couldn't even make it out of training camp).

vikesfan89 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The Packers going for it on 4th down 2 weeks ago helped the Vikings get back into the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing Garçon isn’t healthy enough to be an NFL receiver or he would be on a roster. also Sherels was put on the Saints IR, and paid to cut him. I assume he isn’t healthy enough to be on a roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric dunn Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I expected a move at WR, but not bringing back Treadwell. I think Mitchell or one of the other PS guys would have brought more upside. Although it doesn’t really upset me, I think Treadwell is fine at WR4. And the good thing is we will likely see more Bisi Johnson at WR3, he’s gonna have a chance to steal that job. This is why In the offseason I was beating the table for a WR3 either in FA or the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
