Simpson

I think Jerome should get the chance to play. I would think that means Henry should go. Henry is not reliable and Simpson has the same potential, we just haven’t seen it because he hasn’t had the chance to play. I think they go with:

1. Chad
2. Coles
3. Caldwell
4. Simpson
5. Cosby

I don’t think they’ll keep 6 WR’s active since Coffman will be pretty involved in the pass game too.

What do you mean?

I’m just saying…is there a statute of limitations on his previous transgressions? He kept clean after re-joining the team (of which I will be the first to say I was NOT a proponent!). He knows the offense, and we know what he can DO in this offense.

So, really…what do you mean? You think Chris Henry is going to be let go in favor of The Cosby Kid? Because that’s what you’re saying, effectively.

I’m not saying Jerome Simpson shouldn’t be given a chance to play…I just think that doing so shouldn’t be at the expense of a player who may well come back to haunt us BIG time if he’s allowed to go to another team after perhaps…perhaps…getting his head screwed on straight.

Im comparing Henry to Simpson because in my view they are the same type of receivers. I don’t think Marvin is completely stupid and if he thought Simpson was a 2nd rounder then there’s gotta be something good about this kid. Im saying that Henry is not spectacular and is effectively inconsistent ON the field, not OFF. I’ve seen him drop some very catchable balls IN THE ENDZONE. Simpson has 1 year under Bratkowski and I think HE KNOWS the offense now. I think Chatman is going to be let go for Cosby because he isn’t as good a slot receiver as Cosby. Cosby has a ton of potential and he’ll learn the return game in a couple of months.

Slim gets a nod over Simpson and Cosby hands down. I am not saying don’t play him but come on.

This season of all seasons is the one we need to keep Henry involved. He’s been on his best behavior and working out with Carson all winter in Cali, which should have them coming into camp in sync and comfortable with each other. I look for a breakout season by Slim- maybe even overshadowing Doucho Cinco, provided the rest of the offense comes together to allow for deep patterns and whatnot. Chatman is the odd man out and I don’t see Cosby or the Utah kid being anything more than practice squad guys this year. Caldwell should have the return game locked and Simpson’s got better hands and height than Cosby. Not a chance in hell Henry isn’t the number three going into opening day. He might even be number two.

Simpson is more like Henry than CJ. My hope for him is that he basically turns into another Henry but without the off-field problems. If I’m not mistaken, he’s a bit faster than Henry as well.

If Cosby makes the roster it will be as a returner, nothing more.

He’s got great hops and great hands but I see him as more of a TJ-type than either Slim or Doucho.

With both Henry and Simpson playing Chad’s X postion this offseason in camp while Chad is a no show, I would not be suprised if Chad walks out of training camp as the 2nd or 3rd best receiver out of the 3.

Chad will be eatin it all up. He’ll be talking it up and if we’re lucky, backin it up with hard work and great catches.
