Possible Need at WR

[barrett]

JJ was awful on returns. Slaton was worse than awful. I could see us drafting a WR/Return man in the 6th or later, but I don't think anything higher is going to happen. Remember we still have Dickinson and Holliday from last year's draft who could not get playing time ahead of these guys. No reason to draft a WR, and no reason to sign one unless there it is to upgrade the return game.

And I agree that OD is another league from Dreesen. Dreesen has terrible hands and no speed. Dreesen had 36/518/4 last year. Daniels had better than that in 8 games in 2009. That is not 80% production. If Daniels is healthy he needs to be resigned. Our offense is different with him.

Or we could just start playing James Casey. I swear that guy must have dented Kubiak's car in the parking lot or something. He can't get on the field despite looking great every time he plays.

For someone who played in a bigtime conference at LSU, Holliday looked like a kid coming in right out of high school. I mean he seemed to be awestruck or something. And then he hurt his thumb and was put on the DL for the rest of the year. We never got much of a chance to see what Dickerson could do. It was almost the end of the season before he ever made the playing squad, and then I don't think he ever got in a game.

JJ and perhaps Slaton did much better on special teams returns the previous years.

So why did they drop off. maybe the guys blocking? or coaching special teams? or was it same return on everytime and other teams figured that out.

Yeah, year before last we were one of the best passing teams in the league, with good special teams. Last year we concentrated on the run game with the result being we had the best run attack, but the ST's went to pot, and the passing game was just so-so. If we can get all 3 phases going well, with an improved defense, no telling what we could do.

If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass a-hoppin'.

If we had a competent, non-idiot owner, a competent, non-idiot head coach, a competent general manager, a good special teams and a good defense and an improved passing game, why, we just might make the playoffs every decade or so.

If you'll refer to your other pithy comment in the other post, you will see I said the same thing you just did.
