Updated: Hightower Torn ACL/Moss Out 5-7 Weeks

I cant believe someone mentioned T.O.

gag me with a wooden wagon wheel

I think I was brave enough to suggest T.O. yesterday. Why? Moss is out 5-6 wks which I figured. Moss was our best WR. AA has had a ton of drops with Rex and it didn't change with Beck. Basically AA was our deep threat and Moss was our possession WR.

Gaffney has caught nothing long. Paul is only used for blocking. Austin could step up but why has it not happened previously? We need a possession WR, one who can keep defenses honest and one who will have to be accounted for by the defense to free up AA, Gaffney, Austin or whoever. I don't foresee Hankerson doing that or Stallworth.

I still think that Hankerson is going to be a player very similar to Anquan Boldin. Let him play a couple games, make some catches, get those nerves down, and the guy is going to do big things for us. Mark it down. I watched some tape of him last year, and I would love to see the physicality that he displayed in college at this level. The guy has the tools, I think with a better Quarterback, (Barkley or RGIII) we could definitely see him succeed. Cant just throw out a wr as shit because he hasnt played like an all pro just yet. Take into consideration that we are working with a rookie, in a very short offseason situation, with some absolutely shit quarterbacks throwing him the ball. Let him build some consistency with our qb of the future, and this guy can light it up. I think he will be an all pro in his 3rd year here.

Whats with all the Hankerson talk? The rookie reciever that should be generating buzz right now is Niles Paul.

I'm with you. I voiced my opinion on that in the gameday thread and got crucified and cussed out to the point where not only did I feel attacked, but to the point where I'm not completely comfortable voicing my opinion anymore. But wanted to let you know, I'm on board with ya.

I knew I could count on you! :D

Stinks to see Hightower done but I am eager to see what Royster can do. Time for Torrain to turn it up a notch.

Royster should have been on the 53 to begin with...
