They may have to call me to be WR. I may be old and slow, but I can catch sometimes.

Same. Whatever I can do to help this team. I'm 6-2, 200 lbs, run a 5.4 forty (when I finish). I have a 14 inch vertical and can bench 135 SEVERAL times.

Haven't heard much about Okudah. He left practice early is all that was said. Addison is a hand, but has 5 weeks to recover. God I hope that's not serious. Felton is also a hand or wrist, but I doubt he was ready to contribute anyway. What's up with all the hand injuries at WR?

I'm shorter, heavier and probably slower with less vertical, but in my entire NFL career, I've never been injured.

We need to fire the hand specialist....

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Given Okudah's track record in coverage, him getting injured could be addition by subtraction. Don't know why Blackmon's been buried on the 2nd team without even being given a chance to compete, but I trust him more than Okudah.

Why'd Flores ice blackmon?

They need blackmon, I don't get it.

From what I've heard Blackmon has not looked good.

He looked better his rookie season than he's looking now. Just a guess, but I'm beginning to think that players who miss their pivotal 2nd season are at a big disadvantage. It's the season where you start to put it all together, and missing that year puts you way behind. Okudah is a good example. He missed his 2nd season due to an achilles. Hopefully it starts to click for Blackmon again.

If this team makes any "big" signing or trade it should be for someone in the secondary, not another receiver.

Can we do both? We need a legit backup WR who can play the 2 or 3. We also need a good 3rd CB.
