View topic - Wallace is an upgrade over "Crisco" Washington

[LambertoCincoOcho Profile]

He's faster
He's got more courage
He's got better hands
Crisco was afraid to get hit and dropped or wouldn't fight for the ball. The Titans over paid for a sissy WR. With that said i also think we have upgraded our CB depth. I like Burnett more as a ballhawk in passing situations than as a return guy. He's got better hands than Ike and knows how to take it to the house. He's picked off more passes than anybody in camp. Ratliff is a solid Vet as well. Keenan Lewis is a fine developmental prospect.
Ward
Holmes
Sweed
Wallace
McDonald
ON THE FINAL 53 ANY QUESTIONS?

It appears that Wallace has pure athletic ability over Nate - he should given the difference in draft status. but I can't complain too much about Nate's 16yd avg and 12tds over the last three seasons - except that it could have been 18tds.

I like the final WR roster in the above post. Anytime I watched Detroit play I would see McDonald come up with some nice catches in traffic and by him finding the soft part of the field. I was happy when I heard we picked him up.

Wallace looked great in a pre-season game, but we'll see how it pans out when it's 3rd and 7 in the 4th quarter of a crucial drive. I really like McDonald's quickness and hands. I think he has huge potential in this offense, similar to Wes Welker with the Pats.

If only! If only we could use receivers the way Pats use theirs - to their strengths, use them to make defense loosen up the box, etc. We use Hines the best, but Tone has untapped talent as we saw in SB.
Broken record but I agree, Wallace and MacD would be great on those delay, behind the linebacker patterns Welker is known for. Always open and Brady hits him 5 -7 yrds past LOS. Geez, if it works, you KNOW Arians won't try it. Brady is average QB, accurate and smart but average, we all could complete 50% of the passes Brady does. The offense system they play is what makes him look good. Good OL keeps him alive for Welker (100+ catches???) to get open underneath or wait for Moss. He can't move for anything. Ben is all that and more if Arians would just loosen up the defenses instead of his 1-back crap and tight formations.

Welker keeps backers honest - slows their rush a second or two, and the safeties have to stay back for Moss and respect Welker's speed, so the 5-7 yard draw play with Faulk works every time it's tried because the box has fewer defenders in it. Gee, what a concept,...spread a defense, fake 'em out, use players for what they can do best. Sorry, Arians useful as a box of hammers.

Nate did exactly what I said he would do last year, have a breakout one.
