I think there's a chance they'll keep 6 WRs. I'd love to see them find a way to keep McMullen.
If pressed to make a choice....who would you rather keep...
McMullen or Mason
McMullen or EJames
McMullen or CWilson
I really think we keep 3 of the 4 above
To me, it is McMullen vs CWilson...those guys have to fight it out

I'll admit I haven't been paying much attention to the small injuries in training camp. Just curious if there has been anything about when / if these two guys will get on the field.
Devin Thomas was fully suited and participating in warm-ups last night, but obviously they held him out of the game.

(as I have stated before, I'm not much on preseason, and I won't watch with the exception of an occasional glance)
That being said, what's going on with Anthony Mix?

Nothing, he has done nothing in 2 games...in fact another big body, McMullen had a solid game last night and is now clearly in front of mix in the 6th WR slot. Mix aint gunna make this team.
Everyone was high on him in the spring prior to the draft because he was big..well....he is still big, but he is still not catching passes.
In any case, whoever gets the 6th WR slot, if there is one at all, will not be seeing any action anyways due to the fact we have 3 solid pass receiving TE's.

Looks like Mix won't get the chance to make his case next week either.

McMullen seems like a great reciever for the WCO. He is similar to DJ Hackett who we tried to pick up in the offseason.
I like him but we'll need a special teamer to be the 6th string WR. I don't know if McMullen can swing that.

In the pregame show on ESPN 980 yesterday, Vinny Cerrato says they should be able to play by the 4th preseason game against Carolina, on 8/23.
The wideout spot is tough because I still think they're only keeping five WRs on the 53-man roster. I don't see James Thrash getting cut, and despite missing all this playing time, Kelly and Thomas are virtually guaranteed a spot because of their draft status.
Sucks for guys like Billy McMullen who are giving it their all, but still probably won't make the team because there's just not enough room for six wideouts. McMullen is basically auditioning for other teams right now.
As for Anthony Mix, I still don't see why so many people are crazy about him. Word is that he's great on special teams, though I haven't seen anything to rave about there; and he's been non-existant as a pass catcher.
McMillan has performed better the Thrash so far. and is alot younger. i would go with cutting Thrash, if it had to happen today

thrash is too valuable on special teams, he's not getting cut.

They need a legit injury to go on IR
You didn't happen to see Tonya Harding running around Ashburn lately ?
