Small WR

ST21 · 03-04-2005, 11:06 AM

OK....DP is a good wideout, but was only the 3rd best WR on his team, and were replacing him with...Rod Garner, we need 1 big time impact, player....and I mean Big we need a big physical player that can out jump a DB in the Red Zone, I hear P. Burress is on his way to Minn., that would be great because B. Edwards would be available and he would be what we need to get over the top

Yeah Burress more than likely will be going to Minn. So that definetly gives us a shot at either Braylon Edwards or Mike Williams. I am torn on who I want they are both going to be elite recievers in the league. So, if we get either one I will be happy with that. DP is a great siginging on terms of exp. and his knowledge of the game.

I think we would all love to see Plax end up with the Vikes which should pave the way for the Skins to get Williams or Edwards at #9, but so far the Vikes don't seem interested in Burress. Everything I keep reading says that Plax & his agent are contacting the Vikings becasue he wants to play there. It's not clear at this point if the Vikings want him though.

Why would the vikings trade one tall, pain in the ass, poor attitude receiver for another?

To answer you they probably won't. I just want to see them add any quality WR that will keep them from drafting Williams at #7.

I am a little surprised at the lack of interest in Plax though. it's not like he is that bad a guy.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but it might be because he wasn't that productive after comming off of his injury last season.

I love the pickup of David Patten. I think these are the kind of guys the Skins need to go after. Clearly, if Coles is not going to return, they need a number one, but I'm tired of all of these offseasons where we sign all the biggest names. You can't have 24 team captains (I'm including P's and K's in case you're wondering about 24). We can't have 24 guys who are all going to the Pro Bowl. We need humble guys who will accept a role where they don't have to be the most productive player on the team. I think this will be a great pickup for the Skins.

Vikings are going D. JOhnson in the draft. No doubt in my mind.

Not only that, but they're on the verge of signing Plax. So, hopefully we'll be able to draft M.Williams.

Do you have any info that they are on the verge of signing Plax or is that just a guess? Every article I read today from Minnesotta papers indicates that the interst in Plax being on the Vikes is all from Plax's side so far.

You're probably right. And it wasn't a guess....more like wishful thinking.

They are going to have some sick linebackers in a few years if they take Derrick Johnson. E.J. Henderson, D. Thomas, D. Johnson, and N. Harris, that is a great group of young LB's. I hope they do take him because I would rather see him there then Dallas!!!!

Though he was the third receiver on his team last year, look at his #'s compared to our # 1 guy last year. Not sure on exact #'s but fairly close. Patten was able to get down field also by his 18.5 yards per catch average.

Coles 90 catches, 960 yards and 1 TD

Patten 44 catches 800 yards and 7 TDS

Who had a more productive year and how many games did we lose by less than 7 sure would have liked to have had pattens six other TDS. Not all coles fault though.

No Question he is not our # 1 receiver, but very reliable. From what I understand about Edwards is he could be another Gardner, can make some spectacular catches, but sometimes those ones between the numbers casts some doubt in his mind and he will drop them.

I agree with all this, But Patten had Brady AND Coles had Burrnel who sucked and Ramsey who played well but he no Brady "YET"

Patten is not a # 1 but he a lot closer to a #1 WR then he is to a #3 WR.

Good pickup. Professional, speedy receiver, who plays special teams (unlike McCants). Was hurt last year, but always makes plays when on the field (unlike Gardner aka 50/50).
