    I think this is the play he's talking about.

    Fast forward to 6:12

    Can't be full strength if you're not STRONG! ;)

    That's unexpected but definitely welcome news. His speed alone adds value

    He'll always have some limitations due to his size and the drops will happen but I'm really excited to see this guy back on the field. Hop & Fuller outside and Braxton in the slot is when the offense looks best. We're talking about a 1st round pick with 4.2 speed in year two. A lot to be cautiously optimistic about. Would be cool to see him this week but as others have stated no need to rush him back this weekend.

    He makes a lot of hard catches, drops some easy ones for tds.
    Good to have him back . with the ball having to get out even quicker with the revolving the doors, i'd like to see him turn a 2 yard pass into 6 yards.

    I still think he'll be really good.

    A guy who can get that kind of separation can be special. Just needs to fix his drops.

    Agreed. Watson needs to be developing chemistry with him. Fuller would have really helped Savage looked better.

    Yeah, and he's also really good at tracking the deep ball. So it's not like he's a Ted Ginn who can run fast but can't find the ball

    Eagles have released Greg Ward from the practice squad. Hey Rick, pick this kid up! Do it now!

    Nope. He was ruled out, unfortunately.

    He can run fast and track the ball, he just can't catch it.

    He can catch the call. Come on now. He just makes some pretty awful drops that makes us want to blow our brains out.

    He's had enough one handers to show he's more than capable lol.

    I was initially disappointed that we got that Pass Interference call on Fuller in the end zone, because I thought it was an easy TD. Then I remembered Fuller's hands and was glad we got the PI call ;)

    Exactly. Everyone makes a big deal about his hands. I mean Terrell Owens led the league in dropped balls, still didn't stop him from being one of the best WRs.

    Even if fuller drops a ball or two, he still has Watson who will give him plenty of opportunities to make big plays.

    Example yesterday.

    The play the Texans stole from New England on Fullers first TD. He ran a crossing pattern and took off so fast that the safety had no chance. It was too easy. Incredible throw to get it over the LB in the flat from Watson on that play.
