R. Rich Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hopefully our QB, will be able to get them the ball. 626907[/snapback] Hopefully our OL will keep him upright so that he can find the open receiver. Hmmm.......chain reaction??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 maybe we could just draft a few more fast wr's and play with no offensive line at all and just have 9 guys racing for the endzone on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.......chain reaction??? 626909[/snapback] Hopefully ML will get the improved OL to play in front of the QB who will hopefully get the ball to the very fast WR's we have. Chain reaction, indeed.

That we shouldn't just forfeit every game right now - in mid-March? What are you doing here? Go away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Yeah good thing we are giving up on a guy who gets a 1st down on 2/3rd of his catches. The same guy who had as many catches as that great signing by Washington as their 3rd down back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, let's sign him to a contract that will keep him here until he retires already. Wait a minute! This ain't the NBA and we're not in Boston.

Not sure what you're trying to say, but the fact that people wanted Antwan randel-El who is a similar type WR, and are in awe of the Skins silidifying their WR corps with him as their #3 confused me, since well Josh Reed has down as much or more and would probably be a lot cheaper.

Hey...it's worked for Washington the past five years so we should do what Snyder does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Reed is just as good as ARE, and can be kept for 1/5th the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I'm not. I don't watch the NBA so I don't get the Boston reference. 626969[/snapback] Boston had a dominant frontcourt for years w/ Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Robert Parrish, and Kevin McHale. They did what they could to keep this group together, to a fault I'd say. Eventually, they had a bunch of old players who were worn down by age and injury. They never prepared for that time, so they're still in the process of trying to recover from not being ready to replace them. But Reed is just as good as ARE, and can be kept for 1/5th the cost. 626969[/snapback] Considering his value as a return man, slot receiver, and an emergency QB, I'd have to say Randle El is better than Josh Reed. Reed has struggled to be an effective member of the Bills, while Randle El has given the Steelers a dangerous player that can hurt you in a number of ways. I was personally on hand to watch him convert third down after third down when the Steelers beat the Bills about 14 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ARE does more in the special teams returns, but Reed plays coverage team, and has filled in as a return guy a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celtics traded Gerald Henderson to Seattle for what ended up being the #2 pick in the draft, then won the world championship, then drafted Lenny Bias! I remember Lefty Dreisell assuring Red Auerbach that he had no knowledge of Bias's drug habit. What a shame. The team never recovered, IMO.
