    Urgh... I saw a few games of him last year and he caused interceptions. Doesn't seem to be reliable in terms of hands but as someone said you can't teach height and speed

    Dude needs a jug machine in his home. I'd throw him in front of it for hours.

    Patrick Turner. And it was a smart move back then too. If you have the natural chemistry and the receiver looks like he can play in the league then why not. Maybe you can establish the same rapport in the pros

    The key is making sure your young QB is as comfortable as possible

    Sometimes moxy supersedes talent. He and Sam have a history and for a QB to have a guy he can trust is important, so we'll see how it plays out. He may not see the field this season, but down the road, who knows?

    No,someone else. A draft pick . White guy. He sucked. Even New England didn’t want him.

    Sanchez's best friend. Not a very good WR.

    ???? Joe McKnight (RIP) played for the Jets, but was a RB, some guy named (WR) McKnight on your roster played for Colorado, not USC. Think he is white, lol. Jesus.

    Yeah, "some guy" named Scotty McKnight, who was Sanchez's best friend (not only growing up, but at the time he was drafted), and was drafted only because of that fact. Just like everyone has said.

    Ah ok. I know I've seen that name before probably Joe and Scotty McKnight got morphed into one person in my mind

    Insanity!! Whoever heard of a 53 man roster with 12 defensive backs, not counting the two more on the suspended and pup lists. I am sure when they activate Robinson from suspension and Miles for PUP, they will look to cut elsewhere so they can have 14 DBs!! I don't know who us stupider--Former DB Bowles, who doesn't understand you cannot play 11 DBs at a time, or Mike ("I'll never draft a quality offensive lineman") MacCagnuts!

    Maybe Bowles is just way ahead of his time, and he's going to implement an all-DB defense! Just think of it! What they lack in size and power, they'll easily make up for in speed! Betcha never saw that coming!
