On the radar: Skins WR's

This from Larry Weisman's tweet page...

Brandon Banks ran sub 4.4 40s here at 6:15 a.m. during minicamp. Lack of girth (147 pounds) will be an issue but they love his speed.

There is no one named Dennis Riley on the team. The tweeter needs to get his names straight.

I find myself almost rooting for the other WR's now, Armstrong, Austin, Banks. I found this nice nugget from Matt Terl's tweet page...

Great, the hype wagon is already getting revved up for the next training camp hero.

All I know is that without Armstrong, this team has no chance at receiver. He is TO in a Rod Smith package and will be to the receiving corp what Sultan McCollough was to the RB's. Championship!!

I have Shay Hodge as the new Marko Mitchell. He will definitley need to play special teams to stay.

I'm so tired of talking about these two guys. It's year 3. Either you start doing it in games or it's time to move on. I bet one of them doesn't even make the team..my guess it would be Kelly cause he doesn't play teams.

I like your post. I agree with your points.
Kind of reminds me of the Taylor Jacobs situation. I never heard so many excuses for a player(s). The coaches, the sceme, the Qb's, the OL, the weather, have to wait till 3rd year , the footballs are different, but not the player.
I want them to be great, but at this point I will take just being productive.!
The Db's in the NFL are so much better than in college. That they failed their fitness test in their rookie year is very telling. They thought they were going to come in as stars and automatically be great. I would have walked in the best shape of my life. At 6'2" and 220 pounds if your not going to light up the field with receptions, at least knock a few small DB's on the ground, mix it up, get in a scuffle or two. These guys need to develop a mean streak. Westbrook like...even.

Let's go Terrence Austin.. the last 7th rounder we drafted out of UCLA worked out pretty decently.
