Playoffs and WR's


twfish

Recommended Posts

So with the playoffs coming up do you guys think the team can go with 4 WR? I know the general consensus of alot of people is griff and that's my opinion too. We have gotten this far with we have but I believe we need another option at WR. With TY nursing a hammy (its not serious but hammys are a strange thing), moncreif being a rookie (absolutely nothing wrong with that but experience is nice), Wayne nursing some nicks and bruises (shown that even he is capable of dropping alot of balls) and Nicks being pretty much a no show this year (yea he had a nice TD last week but what about all the other games).

I know some people arent high on Griff because of his KR/PR, however hes a very solid wr and luck and him have good timing. This isnt a praise Whalen thread but he is our best bet at the #4 spot. Think we can make it with just 4 WR?

(Note I didnt mention Cribbs because he never has been a big WR just a return specialist)

id like to see cribbs in the backfield and throw a swing pass or screen to him. dude can do damage in space

We have enough problems with turnovers as it is

Cribbs puts the ball on the turf sometimes, can't take that risk on offense

Now if we're up by like 20 then we could try it once or twice

But not in close games

It all depends on how the other 4 play.  I wouldn't want to bring in Whalen if nothing changes, because we have got the job done without him, but it sure is nice to have an insurance policy, if something does happen.  He has sure hands and good speed!  That's what we will need in the playoffs, but Nicks doesn't get many snaps really, so it would be pointless calling up Whalen at this point.

But if we can't take that risk why advocate so strongly for Herron?

Not that I don't personally think Herron shouldn't get carries just seems a strange double standard.

    • This gets peddled like it means spending in FA doesn’t work. The Rams won a Super Bowl by spending. The Colts don’t spend and haven’t won bupkis since Ballard got here.    I not saying the Colts should just spend mindlessly and I don’t think that’s what anyone wants. But, Ballard’s gotta cover his draft misses by spending in FA otherwise we’ll never win with him at the helm.  
    • Agreed. Tom always brings thoughtful perspective to the forum and I enjoy reading his posts. 
    • Hey, Tom!    Good to see you posting again!    I know you like to show up this time of year to offer your insight.      As I like to tell you every year, I’m sure you’re posting as often as you can,  but I think many here would love to see you post more often!   This website is always better when you’re posting more!   
    • We, might... or we might not... or we might lose someone else to injury. It's just what happens in the league. If it's not one player it will be another. It's a violent sport and players will miss games.  You know how I feel about AR. I still think he needs improvements but the sky is the limit with him... I don't think there was anybody higher on him than me here. But first thing - he just needs to stay healthy.    Downs had a very promising rookie season. Hope he makes a jump in year 2 too...  Honestly. I'm not high on this TE group. The rumors about Woods are not great. Ogletree and Mallory IMO are JAGs at best. Which is OK for where they were drafted but they are not game changers. We need better... I guess if you believe in Brock Bowers we should be hoping he's there for us to take in the draft.  Cross will need to make the jump because it looks like we might be losing Blackmon. He had some flashes at the end of the year, but he still needs to show consistency over a prolonged period of time. I think Raimann is already very good. I'm not too enthused with the way Ballard has handled the DT position...    Steichen was already doing wonders with what he was given last year. IMO the hope is that AR stays healthy and is able to unlock the full potential of what Steichen envisions in his offense.
