After watching Simpson, it's clear he aint a #2

[vancelot23]

Agreed 100%. We need CB, S, OG, maybe LB help if we don't resign Lawson or Rivers.

Wouldn't mind Manningham. Meachem wouldn't be bad either.

Would be to have a nice big physical WR opposite of Green.

Did Lloyd sign an extention with STL when he got traded?

Nope

But nobody would argue he was a damned fine #7 for three years.....

Now that's a list. Good work Kramer. I want nothing to do with Bowe after his TO impersonation against Pittsburgh. Fuck him. I like Douglas. I like Wayne. Garcon and Colston are out of our range. Earl Bennet would be nice. Robert Meachem would add a major speed threat.

Agreed. I know some people were clamoring for Bowe but after that play I want nothing to do with him. That was the most piss poor effort at a crtical time that I've ever seen. Cant win with guys like that.

As far as FA's go Douglas and Meachem are both guys that I could see signing here and would be good fits. Really like Douglas. If they keep Simpson (and he stays out of jail) I'll be happy. People gotta remember we get Shipley back next year, too. Green, Simpson, Shipley, + a FA (not too shabby)

People also should remember this is really Simpsons first year playing. He is like a rookie in a lot of ways. I like Bennett, Meacham, Douglas at first glance.

 

[kramer1]

I'd be shocked if Atlanta doesn't retain Douglas, though. Julio Jones has been a huge disappointment.

 

[DanBengalfan]

Julio Jones burst out with a huge break out game, and then he got his ass hurt.

might do better next season if he can stay healthy.

 

[DanBengalfan]

although, we can laugh at the idiots who were trying to say that Julio Jones might be better than AJ Green, talk about being clueless.

Yes, we can. Although, I wasn't a fan of the AJ Green pick. I think I wanted Gabbert lol.

What is amazing to me is....it's week 12 and it took til just now for someone to realize that Simpson isn't a good WR?


I mean...I think we've ALL know this for awhile now, no?

He's clearly got all of the physical tools. He's big, he's fast, he's fearless. He's just dumber than a bag of mud. I'm not ready to give up on him yet. He's shown flashes.

 

[vancelot23]

If he could catch, he'd be unstoppable.

 

[cincygrad]

How long did you guys want to wait on Simpson? He's not going to get any smarter.

I'd like to keep him, but probably not as a #2.

 

[evolver115]

I liked what I saw from Andrew Hawkins in the first matchup between the Steelers and Bengals. Looks to be a very solid slot receiver. Tomlin actually spoke at length about him in his most recent press conference, and it was all positive.

 

[vancelot23]

I wish Hawkins would play more this year, but with Shipley coming back next year, he'll probably be used minimally.

I forgot about that fella. You guys may be better off at receiver, next year then you think. Green is already demanding double-teams. That's going to open up the field for the other guys more and more. Plus, Gresham is looking great, lately.

 

[vancelot23]

Gresham is a matchup nightmare when he wants to be, and when Marvin decides to include him in the gameplan.

Him and Green. Steelers need to get Woodley back so they can pressure Andy on both sides of the line. I'm very worried what your team will be capable of through the air if Dalton gets time to throw on Sunday.
