Who likes M. Mariani

Its not our QB problems that limit the numbers put up by our WR. I dont recall quite well our passing stats when we made our run to the play offs with kerry collins two years ago..(what the heck i will stop being lazy and look em up)

Collins who fits the mould of the pocket passer Jeff fisher apparently loves completely about 58% of his passes, finished the season with an 80 rating, 12 tds and 7 ints.

The truth of the matter is, with or without a "proto type" qb, we are a running team first and passing team second. Jeff Fisher doesnt have us passing for about 20-25 attempts per game because he doesnt trust VY, but because we have a lot invested in a solid offensive line and of course an incredible running back.


Kenny Britt is by far one of the best run blocking WRs in the league (i would put him second to Hines Ward) now only if he could play with his fire and killer instinct.

Remember that old man who we lost to the ravens and he some how exploded and became one of their biggest assets?

I see people like Britt in that Mould. Marianni too. And i know its early but i dont think its right to compare Marianni to Drew Bennett. Mariani has more heart and game awareness than that over rated doofus..

 

Not sure what people are seeing but he is 3 inches shorter than Bennett but he is also 3 inches taller than Wade. The kid isn't small, he is 6'1. He will probably bulk up significantly in a few years and add some weight to his 190 pound frame. Right now he is a little lanky. He certainly isn't a little WR.

 

based on all DWs fumbles or just pure hope?

 

How hard is it to look up these things? The internet?

We have averaged about 30 passes per game the last several years.

 

Paul Williams is done. I don't ever want to read his name on here ever again. He's not worth my eyes scrolling from left to right and back. Dudes a dud.

 

Couldn't hurt to keep Mariani and put him at the bottom of the depth chart. He could become a good WR someday but not right now. I rather use a roster spot on him than take the risk of putting him on PS and someone picking him up.

 

I dislike him.Yes i said it and I know you all are gonna disagree with me.
I think he may take away playing time from Hawk so F him.
I don't want a PROJECT WR and with 20 to 24 passes a game(with Vince) his not gonna get any touches.

Cut him and make room for the D line or O line.

 

Wait, you don't want a project WR?

...

But your reason is that it'll take away from Hawkins?

Now that's some strange logic.

 

Wow Gunny sure hope you got an oriental friend.

Mariani reminds me of Drew Bennett (the one season he was good).

 

The only person taking playing time away from Hawk is Hawk. Talk about project receivers. Every year, you hear it's time for Hawkins to join the party. I'm pretty sure he never read the invitation.
