WR - Almost as Decimated as Secondary


OldTimer1960

Recommended Posts

Depth Chart:

Diggs

Davis - really too injured to be effective, but gutting it out

McKenzie - concussion, likely out at least 1 game

Crowder - out for season broken ankle

Kumerow - out, ankle

Shakir - likely starting v. Pitt

 

Boy, that is f*cking ugly.  Davis should be sitting until healthy, but they NEED a body on the field.  Shakir will be fine, I think.  Nobody else even has much chance at all of playing this week.  Can’t go into a game with only Diggs, Shakir and a seriously hobbled Davis.  
 

Who is available?  I loved Isaiah Hodgins effort in preseason, but he can’t create separation against preseason fodder.  I don’t think he will contribute anything of note in the regular season.  None of the other practice squad bunch is likely to help.  I guess maybe Tavon Austin could make a play once in a while, but I would not want to count on him much.

 

Do they have $ to sign a vet?  Is one available who could be more than just a guy?  Is Emmanuel Sanders in shape?  Beasley signed elsewhere.  TY Hilton?  Will Fuller?  
 

Things are desperate enough to consider a trade, but really can’t take on significant salary so maybe  for a young guy they liked that hasn’t hit it big yet?

Welp, might as well move Cook to the WR depth chart since they don't want to use him at RB.

Per Spotrac 1.681 million cap space. That won't get a ProBowler but maybe a promising young player.

I expect Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, and Shakir to be ready to go.

 

We have Hodgins and Austin on the PS.

 

Stevenson also just completed his 4 game IR stint if we want to activate him to fill Crowders spot on the roster.

 

I think we are fine.

This level of panic amongst the denizens of this forum is reassuring to me. Look at secondary and the utter panic people had.. and they've actually been pretty ok. 

 

One could make an argument that when everything settles down (with luck and no more injuries) the backfield will be stronger than ever.

To drop passes?

The amount of dropped passes yesterday and you single him out.  Amazing.

 

Refresh my memory...was it Cook's drop or Singletary's fumble that directly led to 7 pts for Baltimore?

We still have Knox and Morris, plus Gilliam and Cook.  Bring up Hodgins even if they run him as a decoy.  I think the bigger problem is on special teams, as in who will be running back kickoffs (at least once) and punts (many times.)  Hyde, Crowder, McKenzie were the punt returners.

I keep reading here that Davis is, functionally, a bilateral lower extremity amputee.

 

What is the actual injury report on him?

Spleen,

Maybe we should try and establish a run game. They’re healthy. 

Perfect time to give Cook some real playing time so we can actually get a good look instead of people calling him a bust based on the one target he gets in game.

whatever happened to him, I bumped into his dad at a Wawa and he assured me Marquez was gonna kill it 

 

He went on IR just after the final cutdown.  He did his 4 games and can return at any time.

Allen is clearly playing for an MVP award and more.. But we don’t need to approach every game like we’re down 30 and have to pass every down.

I said this all off-season…I was never impressed by what they did at WR. I love Diggs and Davis. They are REALLY good, but beyond them it’s very suspect. Crowder on a one year deal. McKenzie on a two year deal that they can get out of after one year. Shakir has a shot at being good so the jury is out there. The rest is just guys. 
 

We are a pass first team that isn’t very deep at WR talent wise and our oline is patched together too. I’m sorry guys, but we need to add like crazy this off-season to the line and WR corp.
