    He won't help either. There is a reason he was cut....he was completely invisible on the field...when he wasn't injured. He is Mike Sherman's lovechild however and so I fully expect him to be a Texan within a week.

    Maybe he can play some defensive back too...man, we need some help there. Still, I can't wait for the season to get started!

    No argument here. I was more worried that AJ was going to be our only real WR this year but Jacoby Jones sure seems to be cementing the slot receiver position in stone for himself. So everyone else can fight for the 3rd spot. I doubt we'll have many 4 receiver sets. Hopefully one of them can make an impact rather than having to rotate the rest.

    We didn't actually sign Ferguson to a contract did we?

    I really don't see the room for him on this roster.

    You figure Dre, Walter, Jacoby, Mccardell, and Mathis are pretty much sure things right now. If we carry six WR's, that leaves one of Andre Davis, Charlie Adams, and possibly Ferguson. Charlie Adams has looked good, but at the same I'd like to see a fully healthy Andre Davis too, though he and Mathis are very similar. Just don't see how Ferguson would make the team.

    McCardell brings good veteran leadership and is still a good possession receiver. If you are thinking big this season then he would be a huge asset for a playoff push. I don't mind giving Ferguson a look though.

    Johnson, Jones, McCardell, Walter, Mathis and it's up for grabs if we carry 6.

    I played against this guy in High School, he was a freak. Everyone who saw him play knew he was going to the pro's if he could figure out how to get into a decent college and I commend him for getting his stuff together and getting into A&M cause this guy was a straight up thug. We had an off campus class together where kids from all of the Spring Branch schools came together, I got in his head about our team kicking the crap out of Spring Woods, I really wish I would have fought him cause that story would have been a lot better than the one I'm telling now.

    The play I remember was a scouting tape we watched on him against Spring where on a kickoff return he ran to the 30, dodged tacklers by running back to the 10 then ran across the 50, dodged more tacklers by running back to the 30 and then took it to the house.

    Well, at least he would more visible than McCardell and Andre Davis.

    I would like to give this guy a chance....

    heard on sirius nfl radio

    he's coming in for a physical and everything today but he's been offered a 1-yr contract for the vets. minimum. Vikings are still interested in him and had offer more money to him.
