Who likes M. Mariani

I like mariani as well but putting him ahead of hawkins is ridiculous. Hawk has speed, and is a great route runner. He's a playmaker. His problem was mental. Getting a grasp of the offense, which he has. A fully developed hawk is more valuable that a a fully developed Mariani. I say we keep 6 because Mariani is gonna do returns hopefully and Fisher has stated we need to get Hawk the ball so he will be activated as well. My suggestion. Tell Gage his thumb injury is worse than we thought and throw him on ir

 

I'm pretty sure we'll keep 6 WRs, and Mariani will be listed as #5 over Damian Williams. He's outplaying him as a returner and receiver. Period.

Edison, who has not been featured at all, will go the PS if he clears waivers.

(This is all Kenny Britt's fault. If he showed up as a stud in the offseason, matured, the Titans might have seriously moved Gage this offseason.I get the feeling that Washington/ Britt/ Hawkins is the starting trio the coaches would have liked to have seen, but Britt didn't do his part.)

 

You are smoking crack. According the QB gurus on this board, he will never develop because we don't have a QB who can get him the ball.

 

No, Britt will develop and be a pro-bowl quality WR (similar to Vincent Jackson). He just won't ever crack 1000 yards with this QB.

 

It's been such a small sample it's hard for me to say Mariani is better than D Williams. I still feel that if you gave both guys 50 returns each D Williams would look better overall in the end.

 

Mariani reminds me of Drew Bennett..........An i liked Drew Bennett,

 

In what way does he remind you of Drew Bennett? Drew was a tall rangy guy with deceptive top end speed. He would go up and get the jump balls thrown to him much like Justin Gage.

Mariani is more of a slot receiver with good initial burst and good lateral quickness. If I were to compare Mariani to someone who played for us before it would be Bobby Wade. I think the kid definately has a future with us.

 

The way I've made sense of it:

If you're a Titan and a white receiver, you're a potential "Drew Bennett."

If you are a short white receiver, you're a potential "Wes Welker."

That's not just people on this board, that's media in general.
