Ernest Wilford - FA

I think we can give him some thought, who knows may be a good option.

If we want a big WR just stick with developing Mix.

No hokies do well in the NFL...STAY AWAY.

Bruce Smith did OK.

Wilford never had great hands, he would drop some passes at VT & I recall him having some problems in J'ville. But it seems he's become pretty dependable w/the limited no. of attempts he gets.

I like him cause he's a Hokie & a good team guy, but I'm weary of bringin in another slow reciever. He's not better than Caldwell & he's probably slower. We not only need height we need some speed too. Moss is the only guy that can sprint by a db.

Bruce Smith did OK.

haha yeah, bruce smith, antonio freeman, darryl tapp is a recent one, shayne graham...

Wilford might be just what we need, but he is NOT fast. He can play though.

A big reciever here in DC would be great. I really dont see how this could be a bad move. He's a FA and if he's not asking for a dumpload of cash, then sign him, why the F not? It's painstakingly obvious that we need a possesion receiver.

yeah exactly, and it would be out the box. If we still wanted to draft a receiver we could and he could help mix and the guy we draft develop but this guy makes clutch catches, he's a big body, and will go across the middle.. he's not 'slow' by any means but hes not a burner either.

While I disagree with you on the whole Wilford over Hacket dibocle, at least you bring numbers and facts to the table on top of what you think personally. That way I feel like I'm debating with a person instead of a monkey.

A lot of people around here lobby for a player with little or no basis for their opinion, saying stuff like

"man this guy is so 1337, we must sign."
"Why?"
"Cuz he r so awesome."
"But the guy only averages 2 yards per carry behind a decent offensive line."
"But he wears vizor, we must have. Plus in Madden he has 98 speed."

With that said I still prefer Hacket. Though if Hacket commands to high a price I wouldn't mind Wilford.

hhaha yeah I understand what you mean.. I just seriously think this guy could be a noce target for campbell to learn to bond with.. He's been trying to battle for a spot amongst a ton of 1st round WR that the jags have picked. He's had limited reps but has done pretty well. I think he could be a great sign. HE's used to about the same kind of west coast offense we will be running,
