    I doubt Gilreath will force Plax out, if they sign Breaston that will shake things up.

    How healthy is Breaston. Plax needs to have a strong camp and look good in preseason games

    I think we still need to see some more from Burress to consider him an asset worth keeping. It will be good to have him in camp, mind.

    it may not be that simple. heath miller and what we have to do with him makes a difference. if he stays active but can't play, we may have to keep 4 TE's early. 3qb's. we have 4 rb's right now. add 1 more rookie and that's 5. 10 o-linemen. 4 wr's if we keep cotchery,AB,sanders, and add a rookie. that's 26 on O.:cool:

    Good. He had a chance last year and was less then a non-factor. I would rather have a rookie then Plax on the active roster

    Not much of a chance, they barely put him on the field. I bet he'll contribute a lot more this season, he had been out of football for a year when we signed him last season. He'll be in football shape this time around with all of OTA's and preseason.

    He came in late and wasn't in football shape throw in haleys complicated playbook and of course he wasn't going to perform. Heck he had as many tds as Sanders. I think him having the full off season and camp will do wonders. I'm making a bold prediction here he will be the third wr and have over 500 yards and 5 maybe 6 tds.

    plax,spaeth,will j.,paulson and d.johnson as the wr's in the redzone. there's our big wr's that can fight for the ball. and to get there full house backfield,two TE's and we run the wishbone. problem solved we don't need wr's.:cool:

    it always bugs me that they dont just throw the biggest wrs / TE's they have on the roster in when they reach the redzone. guys like Sanders, AB and Wallace are great in the open field where they had room to raom, but down in the redzone sometimes its just easier to out jump the defense.

    Ben can only make those impossible throws to little receivers at the back of the end zone.

    Quite. And if we put in our big receivers early on in the game, so as to run up a high score... well, then we wouldn't have "exciting" ends to all our games, would we?
