Little Plax tid bit.
 

It's nothing revelatory, but..


At this point, I don't care anymore. All i know is we are seriously short 1 Redzone WR. Plax certainly provided that particular dimension last year.

If anyone dares to argue that "Gates" is a better use of a roster spot, I'll crush the nearest human. Know that that will be on your conscience.

Who could argue with this, my conscience is clear. Lol

He's the type of guy you sign after week 1 so you don't have to guarantee his salary for the year

I would bring him in just cause he could teach Stephen hill a thing or two about being a Big Receiver in this league.

Plus when we get inside the 20 he is a weapon..

I'm not sure if I would cut gates. I think being around Holmes and Kerley could go a long way in his progression.

But I think I wouldn't mind letting turner go.

I think people here are overlooking our redzone shortcomings right now.

It is and will be an issue IMO.

Hill, Turner and Schilens is not going to scare anyone.

I have no doubt in my mind that Plax was the ring leader of the locker room issues last year...his frustration about not getting the ball spread throughout the whole locker room...and teams know this that why he hasnt signed with anyone no one wants him.....

:rolleyes:

Look, I get your point re: Plax, but to say Gates isn't worth a roster spot, when he'll probably be a large ST's contributor in the return game, both KR and PR, and has played under Sparano and does have a semblance of his system. Plax can't perform any of the duties Gates will on the team, and vice versa, so suggesting Plax is a better use of the roster spot is like saying Plax is a better use of the roster spot taken up by McKnight.

If a train left Chicago heading East with Chaz Schilens on it while at the same time Plaxico Burress started running a go-route West one could observe, on an atomic level, that it would take us all the way back to the Big Bang before Burress could achieve separation from his defender. This is just one of the many strange anomalies that surround us each and every waking moment.

In fact, if you took all the YAC that Burress generated in 2012 and laid it end-to-end you'd curiously find yourself still short of a first down.

i hear we got this guy named Tebow for that redzone thing

but the only constant in that formula is Schilens being hurt.

Exactly. He would only be useful in the endzone. He's too slow.

Yes! Hence the train.

Burress will be more explosive than last year because he's in better shape. That's not saying much, since he's slower than molasses anyway, but it's something. He's still a viable situational player and he really knows how to play WR. I'm sure Stephen Hill could learn a thing or two from him (good and bad).

I recently went to an event held at Plax's high school in Virginia.

I spoke to a bunch of people and they said that he was very manipulative, even at that age.

I wonder if he was a catalyst to the problems.

Braylon Edwards would have been the best WR FA signing we could have made this off-season.

LOL.

:poke:

I really can't take one more offensive PI call from Plax

I agree. But panties would have gotten in a bunch if I said that.

I've only seen highlights, so I could be wrong, but Braylon looks like he's lost a step. I don't see the separation. The big plays I've seen (and there's been a few), he's used his power (he's one of the strongest WRs in the league) and size to dominate. Luckily for him, there's not one CB in the league who can body him.

Get out.

Some team will pick up Plax after week 1.

He's got value for the endzone. In the EZ...Plax can still get that little separation, and with his height and wingspan, can catch TDs before the CB recovers.

But between the 20s, that little separation isn't enough for Plax to successfully run vertical routes. The CB has enough time to close and break up the pass or make the INT.
