It was definitly the gay comment. Also as I remember it he was not all that great. When healthy and on the field he was no different then 50/50. He dropped alot of balls also. but he never stayed healthy so we canned him. I thought after that he went to GB as a KR only. His best days were there if I'm remembering correctly.

Sounds like you're mixing him up with Desmond Howard.

Westbrook had one good year for us in '99, the year after he got hurt and he never got back on track after that. He went on to play for the Bengals for one year and didn't do much of anything.

Probably. In any event our luck with drafting WR's has not been good.

I know I'll get slammed for saying this but if we could pick up more picks I wouldn't mind picking up another WR. Only to get our WR younger. I know I'm all for the O-line, D-line getting younger also, but with the questions as to "IF" last yrs WR's will pan out being a question and or Kelly's bad knees being a problem for us I would not have hard feelings if they were to pick up another WR.

I know several teams are needing top quality WR's so none will probably be available to us with out a learning curve. I was parusing through a few of the new draft magazines and noticed who the magazines mentioned the draft prospect resembled in the pros and thought it would be nice to pick up an extra WR if available but that would mean picking one pretty high to get decent talent, ie; the T.O type, or CJ type, or Housh type.

I thought they said Hayward-bay was a Fitzgerald type. Baits or what ever the top name starting with a "B" was a T.O. type.


edit: Kenny Britt is his name.

That Colorado team that Westbrook played on had the best trio of offensive weapons to never do to squat in the NFL. Kordell Stewart, Rashan Salaam, Michael Westbrook. From NCAA beasts to NFL busts. At least Stewart had a career, although I think Bill Cowher wasted a lot of time trying to force starting QB numbers out of him.

He was a good WR for a while though, but most known for fighting with Davis or better put getting his ASS kicked by him lol

good.....for one Kordell Stewart pass...maybe..the dude would quit in the middle of games...it was like he and Chris Webber were on the same mood drugs

You're forgetting the most infamous player of all on that team...Rae Carruth

I stand corrected. Looking at the "Sporting News" Draft mag. It lists the NFL comparisons as;

Crabtree--Calvin Johnson
Britt--Larry Fitzgerald
Harvin--Steve Smith(Panthers)
Tate--T.O.
Maclin--Isaac Bruce
Nicks--Anquan Boldin
Heyward-Bey--Chad (Ocho Cinco)Johnson
Williams--Santana Moss

Those were the top 8 according to them. I doubt it happens but it would be nice to pick up one if they fall to later rounds and we have extra picks. Some will say if we have extra picks they need to be used for getting the lines younger.

I see on offense needs would be
C
G
RT

On defense we picked up AH making us somewhat younger and stronger. We have several people who can play DE (who are old, yes) a long with a few younger guys if they work out. More pressing needs now are;
OLB
CB

I left out the RB position that some people think we need cause I think either the one we picked up from the Broncos Anthony Aldridge will step up to be our speed outside runner as a change up or the guy from Canada Domonique Dorsey. Both are fast but Anthony Aldridge was supposed to be the fastest person out of his draft.

He's a piece of work. I never liked him we paid a lot of money for nothing to this goy.
