Hes got his blue steel look down nicely, I hope hes been working on catching a football, that is important to his craft, and its something he has not been very good at when his name has been called.

 

Poor poor special teams player, but still better than Marlon Moore at Specials, lil Beast has to up his game to even make the roster over guys like Moore, Gates and Pruitt...running out of bounds on a go route into the endzone against one of the worst secondaries in the NFL is known as " blown rare opportunity to shine".

Also suspect that late at night, in Davie, Ireland pulls out his draft boards for the last two yrs and says quietly and bitterly: "damn you Brandon Marshall, I found Wallace, he is not a Diva, and look at the guys I could have drafted instead of trading for your crazy mfing ***"

 

I know you like this guy Padre, but outside of acouple of plays in preseason and 1 good play in regular season, I see no reason why to keep this guy on the roster. While he's the only guy on the roster who resembles BMarsh physically, it's not enough for me. I'd rather our #5 WR be a speedy guy like Moore.

 

Because if BM goes down, and he misses games every yr, we need someone who can step in for him, that is Wallace, think of him as the reserve #1 Wr, and his tools are off of the chain, he is as fast a Moore, with 30 pds on him and he is a bit taller.

If one cares to look at BM's Rookie season he did not do much either.

 

Thats whats up..best guy to work with in terms of practice habits and focus.

 

If he was able to be the reserve #1 Wr then he should be the #2 until then and I don't see that happening. To give him a benefit of doubt, I don't see that happening just yet.

 

Fo' Shiznazle. Bring on da lil Beast!

 

You hope a guy with his measurables shows enough to stick as the #5 because someday he could be our Miles Austin. But traditionally that spot goes to the best special teams player of the bunch. Is Wallace better than Moore, Pruitt or whatever undrafted free agent we can get? Tough road.

 

Marshall, Hartline, Bess, Wallace, Edmonds...I like the WR corps. Since it's the deepest position on the team, maybe the meathead will keep six this season. Not betting on it.

I don't see how Moore makes the roster; he's an okay prospect but he offers nothing special. Not like there aren't a couple hundred guys just like him snarling and biting at those 32 last WR roster spots around the league.

 

That and route running..hopefully, odd he is not working out with BM though.

As for M&M, boy with Anthony Armstrong tearing it up in DC, hope they make the right decision with him, he did flash big play potential same as Armstrong did but dropped easily catchable passes.

 

if'n i had to take a chance on either Wallace or Moore ... i'd have to side with Wallace

i am looking forward to seeing Foster on the field ... to see where he fits in with Moore, Wallace and Pruitt ... i give him a pretty good shot at beating them all ...

 

I got more hope for him than I do for Marlon Moore.

 

Reserve #1? :huh:

He should be happy just makes the roster again.

 

Brooks Foster I think he's referring to.

 

When running practices we need someone who can approximate Brandon Marshall's size to see which Cb's can handle it.

And yep, I do think Wallace is a #1 Wr in the making, lots of variables though, health, opportunity etc.

 

That's the thing about prospects; if they come on right away, fully formed like Davone Bess that's one thing—you overlook that they might not be the size you want, or the speed you need because they are productive from day one.

But if you're going to invest a couple years bringing a raw guy along, you want that guy to have something to him; size, speed, routes, hands—something that makes the payoff worthwhile if he comes around. You don't want to spend two of the three years of a guy's rookie contract developing an ordinary Receiver.

Marlon Moore doesn't offer any size, no especially great speed, not particularly instinctive hands or route-running. He's starting out way below average, and the best he'll be with two camps is maybe 75% of what Bess was out of the gate. Why spend time developing just another guy when you can develop instead a Receiver with natural advantages like size or speed; or, in Wallace's case, size and speed?

 

I'd rather bring in a more polished product like Jeff Maehl from Oregon...

 

No thanks. I watched him live in Shrine practices.

 

Where does Juan Huron fit on this team?

 

This reminds me of the previously annual "Brandon London is going to break out" threads that popped up all the time. I will believe it when I see it with these guys.

 

You can't judge him strictly on that though. During the seasons he was at Oregon it was like a faster version of Camarillo. Great hands. A touchdown machine.

 

you're worried about the wrong end of the pass. the WR Corp is not lacking in talent, speed or disposition.

 

I like Wallace, certainly more than the other 5th WR potentials, but with all of these guys the odds are against them. It's easy to say none of these guys will ever break out and be right the vast majority of the time. But reality is that some do. RW has shown enough to indicate that he could be one of those guys. He probably won't of course (statistically speaking), but it makes sense to keep bringing in guys who have a chance to beat the odds.

 

which is why i like Foster ... he was a mid-round pick, got injured and didn't seem to have an opportunity to fully heal.

he should be now ... still believe he might have been a solid signing.

he isn't 6'4" ... but is tall enough, fast enough, and strong enough ... we'll see if he is good enough.

we thought enough of Wallace not to subject him to losing him on the PS ... so between these 2 ... i think we can find someone to contribute on STs and as a backup ...

 

Very true, and yet you will have so many fan board experts who really don't know the individuals in question that well or at all, calling them camp fodder, etc. I'm amazed at how many already want to write off Moore based on just his rookie year. (for that matter John Jerry too). Sure, like you say, the odds are against them, but until we give them a chance we don't know for sure who could be the one to buck the odds. Look at Anthony Armstrong. We gave up on him a year too soon.

It's another position, but I can still remember when the Dolphins quietly signed a CFL offensive lineman named Mark Dixon. 99% of the board members didn't know him from Adam, but they still had to chime in with their camp fodder comments. Any posts saying hey give the guy a chance, were met with ridicule. No need to remind anyone how that turned out. We got a solid 5 year starter for little more than a song.
