    i like the signing. i was hoping they did it when they worked him out. i'd almost expect wilson to head to IR at some point. we got a lot of speed at the WR spot. miller isn't slow. CA isn't slow. AI is a burner as well. run this speed all over the field and it should help keep some coverage off of pickens. i think we will see an uptick in the WR's roles as this moves forward. we have some good offensive firepower. how they use it will be interesting to watch.:cool:

    33 career receptions in 33 career games, second round pick in 2019. What is the negative side of this guy? Injuries? Or was it a QB/OC issue.

    As a second round pick, he should have had that many receptions in a couple of games.

    Great they signed another Scottie Miller :rolleyes:, I guess Ryan Switzer wasn't available.

    So why sign him

    I see no added value

    Unless depth and only if they no longer place any value this year in Wilson.3

    I was going to mention this a couple weeks ago Ryan and others.


    Maybe with the short heights ? (oxy?) of Russell and other WRs
    we complete passes in the underneath more.
    Like waist high

    Speed is the great equalizer. You can cover up a lot of inconsistency and poor technique with speed.

    He’s the same speed as Austin

    Austin has not done crap no Mike Wallace with his speed

    Maybe new guy can spread the defense and actually catch the ball more than 1/4 times

    I think that's it exactly. Depth...., and maybe see if they can get out if him what others couldn't

    5th gear

    6 points

    ALL DAY BABY.



    Now all the yahoos are gonna say that our "online" sucks
    since the WR room was something they simply can't imagine working with.

    When you have speed everywhere it spreads out the defense. Somebody is very open and it's going to help out the run game even more.

    I don't remember a football situation where a team had too many fast players.

    Depth signing, still searching, I like Mike Williams, I also heard Kendrick Bourne as a possibility
