Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 You're not going to get a whole lot of experience playing in garbage time of already meaningless pre-season games. So there's little benefit to having a guy you want to stash play, only to see another team take him. Exactly, lets assume for a second the Stevie Johnson is great (I'm by no means sure of this but lets just say). he plays last night against Indy's 7th CB who will be getting cut in two weeks and has 7 catches for 160 yds and 3 tds. That's going to get some attention, no? Whereas if you've like what you've seen in practice but know he'll be your 5th or 6th WR because (god forbid you actually have some decent WRs already) why let anyone else see what you've seen? SJ will get better by playing on your scout team for a year than he would have gotten playing against whatever trash CBs Indy would have thrown out there.

Mickey Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Not really impressed with Jenkins, couple of drops on sure catches, and a fumble. Mayle dropped one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBilliever Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 He's healthy, and he did make a catch last night. But again, when the Saints found out what they had in Colsten, they shyed away from him too, so I dunno, we'll have to see what these cuts bring us.

Steely Dan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 He's six one so if he's slightly worse than the last guy they are thinking of and he's showing steady improvement at WR with solid ST play, then I think he makes the team because he helps the height problem at WR.
