Nfl Wide Receivers

[madbomber31]

ok, we are gonna switch to defense next and save the running backs and o-lines for a few days... but for now... WR's...

isaac bruce- he could make tony banks look good, that should say enough right there... he is the modern wr... tall enough to out leap db's, fast enough to run by em, good hands... any negatives on him?

jerry rice- best days behind him of course but i'd bet he shows up for a few games and has the bay area high in hopes at times..

herman moore- he is a local.. a detroit lion.. i feel bad for this guy... even when he is healthy he is used poorly. ever since charlie batch took over herman has been watching crowell and batch play catch (that rhymed)... he should have not taken the pay cut and been released... he would have looked mighty fine in midnight green.

terry glenn- i said it before, i love drew bledsoe as a qb... but glenn is just as good, they work well together... he is fast and isnt a "girl" like billy parcells said when he first got to NE. he does have to get over some legal stuff or he wont even play.. NE has some sort of no nonsense policy... no nonsense??? in the nfl? god, where would ray lewis be if he were a patriot?

todd pinkston- yes, the eagle.. the 2nd round pick last year who was outweighed by half of the elementary school kids i taught... he has supposedly put on weight and is getting off the line of scrimmage.. they say he is going over the middle and his confidence is shooting up.. BIG SEASON FOR PINKY!!! (i hope).

i left out some huge names on purpose... your turns...


oh, one more thing.. how bout WR corps? teams with great ones....

lions have a 3 headed attack that is second to none, but they have no qb.... moore, crowell, and morton are all super wr's.

redskins- westbrook is the big name and he is coming back from another injury... jeff george is gonna feel like he is in indy back in 90' again... trouble.

colts- i left harrison out of the mix earlier and will do so here too.. but they have an awesome and severely underrated 2 and 3 guy... pathon and wilkens are very good... they have e g green too but i am not a fan.

most underrated receiver a few years ago was Jake Reed when he was with the Vikings. And Carl PIckens was nice too a few years back.

If both can get back to where they was, they'll be really nice for any qb

i miss dem days of alvin harper, john taylor, and shit...oh and fred barnett (just for you madbomber, cuz you bleed philly green)

 

[madbomber31]

pickens will not get back, he is done for good ... retired...

jake reed had recognition in minny as the deep guy, he was awesome, then they got that randy guy and jake disappeared...

Marty Booker is having an awesome camp right now. He's grabbing everything thrown his way. Robinson is one of the top recievers in the league when he is healthy. He had better stats than Randy Moss in 1999 and was injured last year. Terrell will be Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's the prototype NFL reciever. Big, fast, ups, and strong. Dez White would be a serious threat if he had hands. I'm pretty sure Kennison is gone.

Robinson, Engram, and Terrell have the potential to be the most devasting WR trio in the league. Granted they stay healthy and someone (Miller I hope) can get them the ball. They are running a revamped West Coast Offense and should shake things up this year.

I think Keyshawn Johnson will have a good year. Now that he has someone who can get the ball to him.

You can't over look the monster trio in St. Louis. 3 big time players making the grabs over there.

Crowell from Detroit is looking good too.

 

[Natymike]

Same old studs---M Harrison, I Bruce, T Brown
New Studs--Rod Smith, Joe Horn, Tory Holt, T owens

Could be studs--J Crowell, J Thrash, T taylor
(They all have new QB's anything can happen.)

it's about time someone gave some credit to my lions. I'll admit moore has lost a step or two but hes still as reliable as anyone in goal line situations. Crowell has a great build for a receiver and he could turn into a pro bowler with the right system. Morton is year in and year out the most underrated wide receiver for reliability, he makes catch after catch but gets no credit. now that we've installed the WCO this should be an interesting year. I know batch isnt the best of qb's, but if you look at the games last year when he was healthy he played pretty good. Our biggest problem was our O-line. those guys gave up more sacks than a grocery store. now that we got the best center in the draft (dominic raiola* from nebraska) and the man jeff backus from u of M they should be great a couple years from now.(wish we could have gotten hutchinson though, fuckin seahawks) this year will be a rebuilding year but all the pieces are in place, now we just have to find out if htey can blend together.
Madbomber, im impressed by your knowledge on the nfl. usually all i hear is the same ol' shit from people that tink they know about the nfl. I'm sure we'll have some good arguments once the season starts

I need a big year from Mccafrey for this reason:

Fantasy leauge 1st place wins over 500$
10 teams
my team:

QB: Gannon
RB: E James, S. Davis
WR: I Bruce, Ed Mccafrey
TE: sucks don't ask
K: Gramatica
D: Ravens

Those are my starters, people are doubting mccafrey, but if he comes through, I see no reason I why won't dominate the leauge, assuming Gannon has the year he had last year.
