    I think we are entering trade-for-a-washed-up-vet-WR territory.

    I guess HOush kinda jumps out at you, as a name, but I don't know his story the last year or so. I'm guessing he is shot, or injured.

    Still, a 75% TJ Houshmanzadeh is probably a starter for us. We already tried one former Bengal, let's try the less talented one now.

    If the Phins were in position to make a run at the playoffs, I'd say spending a draft pick on a veteran wideout might be a good idea (depending upon the wideout in question). However, this team looks more like a team that will be picking top-ten again next year in the draft. I'd say save the draft picks, take your lumps, develop what you've got. If you can't raid the waiver wire for a good WR, go after it again next year with some decent ammo.

    Worst-case scenario is, they spend a high pick on a veteran guy who doesn't deliver. That would really hurt a rebuilding football team. You gotta be smart.

    Thats a very old list...Cotchery is in Pitt, Briscoe in Washington, Rashied Davis went back to the bears, etc....

    Doesnt matter though...no one that list is any better then what we have right now.

    I'm with you on this... though if we are going to start Tannehill, it would be nice to give him some decent wideouts to throw to. Who knows, there's always that possibility that a Welker will fall in our laps like in '04.

    Thing is, from what I can tell there are no Calvin Johnsoneqsue WRs in next years draft. They are either small and fast, but not physically powerful, or they are big and tall but with adequate speed.

    We need a true deep threat with some size, and who can still produce in the redzone. Not sure I see a blue chip guy who does both at a top ten pick level.

    That's the problem, more slot receivers are available but we don't need those.

    Maurice Stovall is a guy I wouldn't mind taking a look at.

    I guess, but this more a physical size and speed combo I'm not seeing out there. Not sure how much that would change.

    When your own general manager indicates that he's filled the wide receiver positions with a bunch of 4's, 5's and 6's, that he hopes turn out to have some 1's, 2's or 3's...that seems like a problem, to me.

    There's always a silver lining. To me, Brian Hartline, Chris Hogan and Rishard Matthews are the silver lining. But it's just not enough.

    If they wanted to bring in a FA WR, I'd have assumed it would have happened by now.

    At this point I think they're going to roll the dice with Hartline/Bess/Nannee and hopefully use a lot of 2WR formations.

    I don't think he necessarily was including Hartline in the 4s,5s,6s group.

    Ive always said Bush could play Flanker, maybe Philbins reading my posts? (Yikes! lol)

    Not for nothing though we are seeing more players who player multiple positions (WR and RB)...Harvin and McCluster come to mind immediately where they actually line up at both spots and since Reggie has a comparable skillset I dont really see it as a reach. Let Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller get some carries and see if someone is dumb enough to stick a LB or safety on Bush in 2 Wr + Bush sets?

    Haven't they been experimenting with Thigpen in that role?

    I dont know. They should be experimenting with reggie in that role. Give him 12-15 carries a game and another 3-5 catches split out wide on screens and slants...RAC routs where his elusiveness is going to equal more big plays. Use him in a way Martz used to use Faulk. Players like him are a difficult matchup and they can get you a ton of cheap yards and big plays two things this team will need.

    Agreed. Anthony Gonzalez is worth a look too, if he's even close to resembling healthy.

    Philbin and Sherman will most likely use Bush as receiver in the regular season. He is a great mismatch player, no sense in tipping it off of in preseason.

    Since it is looking like Tannehill at least for week 1, all you want from the WRs is an understanding of the offense and consistency. We'll likely see a heavy dose of passes to the TEs RBs and slot WRs with a rookie QB anyway.

    Pray Wallace can emerge as a redzone threat, and hope the running game can be consistent enough to take pressure off Tannehill.

    I've given up on Roberto Wallace, I think. I don't know that he's getting the separation this offense requires at the position. The more I looked at what he did against the Bucs the more it looked like a mirage. The corner was disengaging in the zone and passing him off to safeties that weren't there early enough, and Ryan Tannehill was making beautiful throws. Even the touchdown wasn't great separation in man coverage, Tannehill just stuck the ball really low to where only Wallace had a chance at it. And he didn't catch it.

    He's not the greatest receiver ever, but he's produced when able. At this point, I'll take steady production. We're not going to top receiver charts this year.

    I think Matthews and/or Hogan are making a good case for taking his roster spot.

    I don't understand how other fans read the tea leaves.
    Wallace has been taking the mist 1st team reps since Chad got released, Hogan is 3rd string, but they cut Wallace and keep Hogan?

    Nope, not this time of year, maybe the Vikes waive Manny Arceneaux.

    End of the day, it may be better to use Bush and Thigpen in the slot with Bess kicking to the outside.

    Thigpen has some Bryant Westbrook to him, just hope he is healthy enough to show it this week.

    Of that list, imo Patrick Crayton is the only name I really like but he oddly old for his number of yrs in the league.

    I personally like Cunningham and Fuller, especially Fuller though, would love to just stick him on the field and see what he has to offer when it counts.
