The Running Backs, Wide Receivers and other offensive questionmarks...

[Dillen]

Although theres maybe a 5% chance of it happening, there were rumors of Stallworth to the Eagles. I would love that, but I wouldnt count on it.

[The BIGSTUD]

The FO doesn't give a shtein what us fans think or what writers think obviously. But they have to see the same things we see. It's impossible not to see it.

Pinkston's peformance tomorrow night is going to have a huge influence on whether or not they get a receiver. If Pinkston plays well they probably won't get one. My only worry is, this kind of thing can creep up during the regular season.

On August 24th... you're still sitting here saying that the Eagles are gonna add a WR.  Unbelievable.

OK... tomorrow night, when Pinkston goes out there and shows that he's nowhere close to being ready to play the season... What stud WR do you suppose is sitting out there just waiting for the Eagles to grab that is going to make a bit of difference?

Are you gonna try to sell me on Kevin Johnson again?

I never said I wanted Johnson. In fact I said I didn't want him.

You have heard the same rumors that I have. I don't know about difference makers, but there are guys that could shake loose who could contribute.

that would be great, and even if we assume the impossible and they actually did that, you couldn't expect much from the guy.  he'd need to learn the offense and that would take forever because he wouldn't have had the advantage of any mini-camps or training camp to learn the offense.  that's why it's so infuriating that they didn't add anyone, even if they do it now, because anyone they add now will be useless for at least 2/3 of the season

[Dillen]

I'd like Stallworth because of two things.

1) It shows they actually care about the WR group and want to improve it.
2) He's one of those guys that doesnt need to know the entire playbook right away to make an impact(but obviously its an advantage), give him a slant, drag or screen and let him run after the catch.

[SunMo]

Except Duce.

right

Exactly.

Another possibility is Justin McCareins. There were rumors that he could get cut or traded. I don't know why, but the rumors are out there. The Eagles really liked him a few years ago. He could be a possibility.

[SD_Eagle5]

I'd shtein myself if we got Stallworth. The guy has unreal speed and can learn the O as he goes for all I care, at least we'd know help was here.

[Dillen]

I'll admit I dont know much about McCareins, but isnt he more of a possession receiver? We have enough of those, but any help is good help I guess.

[The BIGSTUD]

Again... August 24th.  Who?

Possibilities include:

Stallworth
McCareins
Tyrone Calico
Ike Hilliard

Again, I'd really only want Stallworth or McCareins, but I'm just giving names of guys who could shake free.

Ditto... but I'm not even gonna get my hopes up.

1) if only it was that easy to grab any receiver who didnt know the west coast offense. you have to know the playbook or you screw up the plays for the other receivers. west coast looks for west coast. I dont think the Eagles are looking for the 2 play guy and your done for the day

2) McCareins? pack up the pole and tackle box guy, its getting way too dark to fish off the bridge

[The BIGSTUD]

He's not a blazer, but he can get downfield some. If nothing else, he's proven he can be a solid receiver, in case Baskett hits a rookie wall and loses confidence early.

Realistically none of those are a possibility. In fact, I'm willing to bet we go into the season with what we have now.

What would you rather have, a guy who can make an impact every time he touches the ball but screws up every once and awhile, or Todd Pinkston or Hank Baskett? No matter what, the #2 guy is going to have some issues.
