If Lee Evans Goes To Ir, Sign Stallworth?

[Alexir]

While I am not all for signing recently cut players, I just don't see Lee Evans ever being over this leg/ankle injury and with Stallworth knowing the offense book (insert Reverse joke here), should we put a waiver in for him for veteran's minimum and IR Evans?

MODS: Rename thread title STALLWORTH Available

[scrock]

What? Harbaugh and Lee Evans were both sounding excited about where his ankle is at, said he will be returning soon

hells no, for the first time in a while they said he made good progress

im ready for him to get back as much as anyone

heck no, he's making good progress and Stallworth has never been that good

[The Raven]

Why...? So he can ride the bench again? I thought he was with the Deadskins anyway? What's he done with them? Next to nothing? Also, if he was in fact released by the redskins, then we have no use for him. If you get cut by the redskins... well...

We're good at WR anyway. Torrey and Laquan have exceeded expectations. Heck, Laquan already has more catches than I thought he'd have targets. The TE's take a lot of the pressure away from the fact that Torrey is a rookie. The offense is fine, we just need to start gelling and we'll be good to go!

Stallworth is unecesary.

[scrock]

yeah, Stallworth is a Redskin anyway

hey, lets put Lee Evans on IR when he's finally getting close to return and instead give up a draft pick for Stallworth


oh me, oh my

These guys are gone for a reason....the page has been turned, no retreads.

Absolutely not.

Agreed, it's water over, under, and around the bridge at this point. You don't put a guy on IR unless you know for a fact he is done for the season. I also feel like we have enough younger, hungrier, developmental types in Tandon Doss, David Reed, and Laquan Williams that can compete for that 3rd receiver spot than bringing in someone else.

PLEASE DON'T TITLE YOUR POSTS LIKE THAT! Almost gave me a heart attack! I read "Lee Evans to IR" like it was already a FACT.

WHEW!

yeah, me too....should change the title of this topic, its just wrong

[Crabcakes&Football]

Evans would be on IR already if they didn't have hope for him to be back. I think it's just a matter of a couple weeks, not all injuries take a few days.

I think he's been cut recently.

[Alexir]

Stallworth was cut by the skins hence the first line of the post....check ESPN....

Harbs and Evans have been saying there has been progress the whole time. While Stallworth isn't great (and I would personally rather see more 2 Tight End Sets than 3 WR sets), I am looking into the post season and if Evans isn't available to play then, what do we do from that point? Having someone familiar with the system and can take the top off the defense will help everyone on the offense.

I would prefer Doss and Reed to take over the role if Lee doesn't come back but what have they done?

[ravensdfan]

Everyone just needs to leave Evans alone. For Pete's sake, the man played in Buffalo when they were going nowhere and gave everything he had on the field. I have no doubt he WANTS to play. This is not a Gaither situation. If the ankle was not improving at all they would have placed him on IR. Obviously the people in the know believe he will play this season.

[scrock]

Evans will be back, you dont keep a guy on the roster with an injury if u arent positive he is coming back, with the way Harbaugh was talking I think we should see him back in another week or so

[BenDufusberger]

No way.

Cam only has one play in the book for Stallworth , and I never want to see it again.

[scrock]

who negs someone because of a sense of humor?

someone without a sense of humor

Yeah... cuz Torrey Smith isn't familiar with the offense and can't take the top of a defense and help everyone on offense. 19.8 YPC is not a joke. And that's not taking the top off, its blowing it off. Have you noticed Boldin's play improve? I have, and interestingly enough, it seems to have something to do with Torrey also improving.

Also, if he could really take the top of a defense and help people on offense, the Redskins would not have cut him. Their receivers are not special.

Also, Stallworth was being outplayed by Leonard Hankerson (5-57 11 YPC). A rookie WR. Does he really have anything to offer us? hmmm.....

Stallworth 5-46 9.1 YPC avg. Heck, Torrey (20-397-19.8 avg 4 TDs) and Laquan (4-46 11.6 YPC) are both outplaying him as well.

Also, in the link provided, it states he was underperforming and replaced by, get this, another receiver. David Anderson. Who is David Anderson?

Agreed, and if Evans does get back in time, which it sounds like he will, the receiving core will be deadly (even though it already is for the most part). Seriously, I cannot wait until Evans is back, especially since him and Flacco seemed to be forming a solid connection before the injury. Imagine what Torrey and Evans could possibly do together to opposing D's on the field. Colour me excited!!!

[The King]

Torrey Smith has done more for us than Stallworth did all of last season. Even if Lee Evans came back, re-injured his ankle, and had to be put on IR I wouldn't want to bring in Stallworth, or any other WR who's a free agent right now.

[Ravenslifer]

Stallworth usually finds a way to land himself on IR. If Evans can't get back, we have Torrey, LaQuan, David Reed and Tandon Doss. Yeah none of those three are speedsters like Torrey and Lee, but they can still stretch the field.

I would want TO before Stallworth. Go on, hate me for it.

No hate from me here...[b]IF[/b] it was between those two right now, I would agree

[theFRANCHISE]

At first, I was intrigued for the same reasons as Alexir, as Stallworth would provide depth and insurance for the postseason.

But, that said, the receiving corps has been very sink-or-swim lately and it's gotten mixed results. I'd rather have a proven pair of hands for insurance than someone who did very little in an offense where the coordinator thought he was only good enough for one type of play. I just don't see Stallworth having even minimal impact if he were brought back for depth.

And in speaking towards a need for postseason depth, I don't believe it's as big of an issue with the way the two-TE sets have been utilized as of late.

No one is saying replace Torrey Smith......

I was saying since Lee Evans has taken 2 months to get over an ankle injury maybe we should see what veterans are out there because I know I would hate to go to the SB against Aaron Rodgers with LaQuan WIlliams and David Reed as our 3 and 4th receivers.....

Call me crazy, but I think we match up very well with the Packers. Their offense is extraordinary no doubt, but they seem to be built like a glass cannon. The run game, and the defense of the Packers has been very average so far this year, but the type of games they force the other teams to play weighs down the Packers D statistically. Still I really don't think they are next to last talent wise against the pass either, but that being said they have allowed a lot of points on defense.

Hypothetically our secondary, being battle tested, and getting healthier should stack up with any offense. One big advantage the secondary also has is a great pass rush by the front 7. Furthermore we can stop the run out of a nickel defense which most teams cannot boast that capability. All in all I like our chances against the Pack on any given Sunday even with youngsters like David Reed and Laquan Williams manning the 3rd receiver spots for all the reasons I listed above.

[scrock]

u know why they dropped Stallworth, i watched one game when they played the Eagles and he had a couple drops that game

his hands are bad, same thing he never played here
