If you don't like the KJ idea then there must be someone out there that you do want. Even if say, Reggie Brown were to start, the Eagles would still sign someone for depth. So who do you want? Does anyone have a list of FA WRs still available?

What about Bradford and Troy Edwards? They still out there?

yes and for a damn good reason.

I consider the slot a starter, even though it's not technically... they are used in many sets.
THIS SEASON IS OVER AND ANDY'S WORLD IS GRIDL

Offseason needs: 2 DEs, 1 DT, 1 OL, 2 LBs, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 KR.

Just checked, they aren't available. Bradford is pretty good though.

I think I'd start drinking if he was here and became the starter.

whats really sad is that the Eagles WR's over the years have been so bad and Reid hasnt really developed anyone... that we as fans think the Eagles need to go out and get a FA WR to fill a void after injury.  Why the hell cant another WR step up?  Why do the Eagles even carry #3, 4, 5, 6.

If an Olineman goes down we dont freak out, we expect a backup to fill the void like Hicks did in the past.  If an LB or DT or DE or CB goes down we expect the backups to atleast play well enough to win games.

but our #2 WR goes down and all hell breaks loose.

Agreed 100%...I just got done talking to my dad saying that I have faith in Greg Lewis at the #2 spot, full fledged confidence. Reggie being thrown in as a rookie worries me, but I think Big Red will just have to find someone to be that 3rd guy. Its not like we need a #1 or #2 WR...a serviceable #3 veteran won't be too difficult to find.

I've been naming names. Whether my names were realistic or not, I tried to think of some people. Does anyone have any names on their minds?

there isnt anyone out there as good as Pinkston.  now what does that say?

Two names a friend of mine just mentioned as veteran (serviceable) #3 WRs....thoughts?

Tai Streets
Curtis Conway

Both played in the Niners WCO?

I'd take Streets, but no Conway. Too old and beat up.

Streets caught over 70 passes in '02 when he was paired with TO  :P

GET STREETS!  :paranoid

PhillyGirl

I also like the Streets idea because TO knows him and would feel comfortable with him. After TO left, I remember Streets was one of the few guys who stood up for TO.

Also, lets not all forget that with Buckhalter back this year, and Moats here too...Westbrook will be lining up as a WR often.
