JaimeDeCurry Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Because we have the luxury of not needing McMullen at this very moment. If we wait a few weeks until he's good to go,Seattle might try to re-sign him first. Or another team with WR injury problems.I was pissed when Seattle signed him early in the season, because I was pretty sure that, if he had still beeen available, we would have sent Kelly to the IR already and used McMullen instead. Now we have a chance to rectify that mistake. If we sit around saying, "Well, Billy can't contribute for another few weeks, so let's just stick with our own receiver who can't contribute," we'll probably wind up in the same damn position in November. IMO, if we're going to wait that long either receiver, we might as well just keep Kelly off IR for the season. To be totally honest, neither Kelly nor any other receiver we bring in to replace him is going to make any sort of contribution this season. We might as well just keep Kelly on the roster and let him keep practicing with the team. Just deactivate him for game day like we have been.

Judging by how he played in the preseason, I think Mcmullen would be able to contribute to some extent immediately. Obviously he would be behind everyone else in learning the offense, but just get him running some basic routes on the outside. He's a good 3rd down option for Campbell, and represents basically what we've been missing all season with Kelly out: a legit big receiver. He can go up and fight for the ball like no other WR on our team does right now. Sign Billy! edit:disregard if indeed he is hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Robert McCune is also available...Damn I wished he made the cut. I swore he was a diamond in the rough when we drafted him. I guess that is why I design data centers and not football teams, oh well back to the draft board (ar-ar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 My reasons for wanting Aromashodu are - he has NFL experience, so I don't expect the same rookie mistakes that Devin Thomas has been making. - he apparently has decent speed and can get separation, so he could possibly come in and stretch the field at least. - he's more likely to gain Campbell's confidence quickly since they have a history together. - he's already on the practice squad so he's already been learning the offense, so he wouldn't be as far behind as a guy like McMullen.

nace14 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 can somebody post a video highlight package of any of these receivers in punt coverage, because that's all they would do for us if signed today. based off mix' special team play last year, i would say pick him up but i really don't care how great their hands are or how explosive they are off the ball b/c they are not currently on an nfl team, and therefore, aren't as good as moss, randel el, thomas, thrash, cooley, or davis. that makes them at best a 7th receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy McMullen is hurt, that's why he was released from Seattle and will miss "SEVERAL WEEKS" for the last time guys! GEEEZZZZZ RED06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Should we resign Anthony Mix? Just kidding. Sign Marcus Mason to the 53 man roster if Kelly will go to IR.. This seems like a no brainer, get back the RB talent that we lost to the Ravens PS. Then let Marcus return punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might as well just keep Kelly on the roster and let him keep practicing with the team. Just deactivate him for game day like we have been. The problem is that as injury happens to players (and it will happen), depth will become an issue and you won't have the luxury of keeping around a guy who isn't going to play. At the very least, you get in someone who can at least practice. To be honest, tho, I don't think the decision will be made until the bye week. While I could possibly see someone being called up from the PS during the week, I doubt it will happen this week with no one in the WR corp currently hurting.

Remember Keenan McCardell and Reche Caldwell last year? They came in and immediately made some big catches for us, because we still lack a solid option who can simply run the correct routes and be trusted to make a catch against a nickel back to move the chains. McMullen can do that. He can be this year's Caldwell - and that's a role I honestly believe we still need to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're talking about our 5th receiver here. Can anyone remember a time where we had five receivers on the field and one of them wasn't Cooley? I'm just saying that neither Kelly nor anyone else we put in his place is going to see more than 10 plays this year. At least if we keep Kelly off IR he can continue to practice with the team. If we IR him, that's over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with everything here. He should be the natural promotion if/when Kelly is IR'd. Like you said, he's been working within the offense all year.

Except McCardell had been more productive than Thomas. Thomas isn't the Caldwell type. He's not here to be relied upon as a clutch third-down converter who will do all the little things right and not make any dumb mistakes. McMullen can be that guy.

(You might want to read the rest of the thread. You know, the part about football beyond the next two games.) I've read the whole thread, including the part about football beyond the next 2 games. We either keep Kelly on the roster still injured or put him on IR and sign McMullen who is injured. Either way, we'll have an injured WR on the roster. sorry, I just can't cosigh on this one....where's the respect for #72? I respect #72, for what he did on the football field, not off it.

AirMayo21 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sure, I am all for him being called up from the PS, I would prefer that then signing someone from the street this year. Amen there.
