Coach Tuesday Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Honestly those measurables sound a lot like Jones's! Can he learn the offense? That is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 Wide Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Honestly those measurables sound a lot like Jones's! Can he learn the offense? That is the question.

Long Time Fan Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think Aiken would be a viable option, he looked good in preseason,, has been on PS all season so far and must have a decent grasp of the offense, why have him on the Ps if we dont have confidence in his ability to contribute, as with the rest of our young receivers, NOW may be his time .

Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Being in camp and on the Practice Squad... wouldn't he already know the offense? I would hope so... I think a majority here thought he was going to make the squad. He played very well in preseason. I was hoping he and Naaman both would be on the squad. But they opted for Ruvy Martin instead.

The Big Cat Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 --I posted this before, but it bears repeating-- Here are the offensive options we're left with, to be used in whatever capacity: Johnson Nelson Smith Chandler Spiller Jackson Roosevelt Methinks Chan can scheme with these players without having to rely on plugging a new [yet unproven] cog into this machine. Don't get me wrong, I love Kamar's measurables, I thought he looked good throughout preseason and his little Asian buddy Harold is adorable. But I think he'd be a work in progress out there, the learning curve for which we don't really need and can survive without at this point. Roosevelt is enough of a liability as it is. He's still learning on the job, too. Let's not just start tossing guys into the fray when we've got plenty to work with as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 We can't add Aiken without cutting someone. Maybe Chan isn't ready to do that yet. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTR exactly. honestly, who from the active roster do you cut at this point? You can't cut any defensive backs. can't cut TE's or O-Lineman...who do you cut?

Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 exactly. honestly, who from the active roster do you cut at this point? You can't cut any defensive backs. can't cut TE's or O-Lineman...who do you cut? Ruvel Martin. Chan cut him before. Obviously didnt think his ST talent was essential. We have a bunch of good players on coverage teams. We probably don't need him, although he is good on ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 We can't add Aiken without cutting someone. Maybe Chan isn't ready to do that yet. PTR Can't we send one of our rookies/2nd year guys down to PS? Searcy or someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Can't we send one of our rookies/2nd year guys down to PS? Searcy or someone? They would have to be cut and any other team could sign them. Searcy would be picked up in all likelihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Miner Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Jones' injury obviously affected the offense. Perhaps already being a bit short at the WR position, Chan really didn't have the luxury to change the gameplan too much or ask these new inexperienced players to do something they weren't prepared to do? You might see something different with these same players come this next game due to time to properly prepare them for a new gameplan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, as he has been a scratch the last 2 games if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Ruvell Martin is as dispensable as one can get. I don't agree. Martin is pretty important to special teams. Those returners don't tackle themselves. My take is Chan will wait until the bye week to make a move. We'll go into the Giants game with what we have. If it looks like we need help, and if Jones doesn't improve enough over the bye, we might add someone...a vet or Aiken. I say we cut Terrence Wheatly before Ruvell Martin.

Jones Problem Solved.... youtube.com/watch?v=l1YohHJwnQc Didn't see this post...I thought I was the only one when I started one today about Kamar...here's the text from mine: I've seen enough of Martin (was targeted on Fitzy's int Sunday & fell down). sure he makes a play here and there on ST, but I'm willing to bet there would be little fall off with Aiken. Martin has bounced around and hasn't stuck anywhere & Aiken is a young (UDFA siging) sitting on our practice squad? The kid's about 6'1" and around 215....pretty good size! He ran a 4.45 @ UCF's proday and in the preseason performed really well...something like 5 catches for 100 yds, and I think all of those cathes were for 1st downs...He looked to run crisp routes and was able to get good seperation...I'm not sure what the eligibility rules are with retaining the ability to PS him next year IF we activate him for a couple games while Nelson heals up...Anyone?
