Hank Baskett Hysteria

[PhillyGirl]

I am still a little surprised this kid is going to get out there first ahead of McCants, GLew, hell, even Avant, or other guys who have more time in the system and more NFL experience. I'm pretty excited to see him play, but baffled how if he has performed this well up until this point, that the Vikings were so apt to dump him. Hope he impresses.

Avant missed a ton of camp....Baskett has more experience w/the team at this point.

Baskett is still listed as third team on the PE.Com depth chart.

I don't if that signifies anything or not but I thought I'd mention it...

Baskett is starting. Gaffney is not. This farging team...

[General_Failure]

They're all mediocre at best. Does it really matter?

I totally trust Reid.  He deserves the benefit of the doubt, especially with WRs and LBs.

My sarcasm meter just blew the farg up.

I remember reading from Spads that they won't update the depth chart until before the first game. I wouldn't read into it yet.

So you're angry that a rookie is starting a pre-season game?

God forbid they want to see him work with the 1's and not get snaps with Koy Detmer while going against cornerbacks who will be changing oil in three weeks.

He earned it.

We know what Gaffney can do. He's a solid possession receiver.

I'll be glad to see him work with the first team, and finally get a good look at him.

I'm angry that this team has so few receiving options that they feel the need to put an undrafted rookie in the with the ones to see what he can do. But you knew that.

[Rome]

Maybe Baskett has actually earned it?

Maybe he's better than all the experts on this board would believe?

Nah... that's crazy talk.

Maybe Greg Lewis should be out there. We don't know what he can do yet...

I was thinking that Baskett would be starting in three reciever sets, it's not Brown, Gaffney, and Baskett?

Nah... that's crazy talk.

So an undrafted rookie, who's original team traded him away is a better WR than the veterans and drafted rookies on the team and has 'earned' a starting spot? And none of that bothers you?

ALL'S WELL! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
