Albany,n.y. Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 If the plan is to make Haddad the punt returner & keep Nate Clements off the special teams, I'm 100% in favor of this week's moves. Haddad had a great preseason a couple of years ago returning punts for Indy. Another plus is getting Sam Aiken on the field enough to evaluate whether Josh Reed should be demoted to #4. If this all works out Haddad returns punts, Aiken moves up to #3 and Clements is safe & not risking injury on punt returns. Everyone wins except Josh Reed, who is getting closer to the waiver wire.

zow2 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Since Haddad didn't return a single punt in preseason, I can't see that happening. Maybe they'll surprise us. I'm glad Aiken can finally see some real action and I think Haddad has more reliable hands than Reed and he's quicker. Whatever,,,,change is good.

stuckincincy Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 It can't hurt. Maybe he will be modern version of Lou Piccone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Bay Bills Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Does that mean that Lee Evans is officially number 2, or is #3 to #4 just wishful thinking about Josh Reed. It's hard to like Reed - he never seems to do anything.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOOOOOO Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I'm not giving up on Reed just yet....He needs to regain his confidence and form we saw his rookie year.....I dont think Mularkey will give up on Reed just yet either...He saw the same thing in Pitt with Ward.... Ward in his 3rd season got the #2 WR nod and only caught 48 balls, struggling early then coming on a bit better in the 2nd half of that season....Its his 4th year fans wanted him out but he started out strong and ended with 94 catches that year... Reed will be dropped back to the slot reciever role these next few weeks and i hope he will start to show that confidence/form we saw in his rookie season....

TKO Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Why are so many of the TBDers in love with Aiken? If I remember correctly, he dropped a TD last year in the Hou game.... that's his contribution so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vinnie Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I think it's a sign of the times when all the buzz is about a 5th string receiver who is activated off the practice squad!! The glory days??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I find it interesting that he has not been promoted yet. Are they looking to fill Shaw's roster spot from outside of the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art in PNS Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 Perhaps he's been lighting it up in practice. 71653[/snapback] Preseason being preseason and all that, when he played he played hard and looked quick. I think that is what Malarkey is trying to push. If you are a superstar and slack off and win maybe we cut you some slack, if you loose it is not acceptable and if you are not a superstar you are replaced by someone that wants to play . End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
