Gimmie both, I for one, appreciate the speed from WRs. Something I feel like has been missing from the ducks the last 5-6 years. A Samie Parker or Demetrius Williams would be sweet. Those guys knew how to get open downfield for the homeruns.woundedknees wrote:FWIW, according to DT, Sumler may be visiting with Randall in September.

Yeah too bad both Jones and Holland had other issues. Both did show promise though when they played. Let me rephrase that, I would appreciate some more speed+smarts at the WR position.liberalduck wrote:UOducksTK1 wrote:Gimmie both, I for one, appreciate the speed from WRs.

Derrick Jones and Jamere holland were two speedsters we have had in the past few years. Too bad they couldn't get it together off the field and in the classroom. My favorite receiver over the past few years was Brian Paysinger. He should have played earlier in his career and unfortunately, his career ending injury took him out of the game just when he was really beginning to make a statement on the field. He had great hands and seemed to work really hard. If my memory serves me correct, that was the year we lost half of our best players to injury - Dixon, Colvin, Paysinger, Jeremiah Johnson. Did I leave anyone off? Jonathan Stewart was also hampered by injury. If we could have stayed healthy - the NC was ours.
Bummer. Would have loved to get a visit from Byrd..ChipKellyKapowski wrote:So unfortunately there was some miscommunication between Jhop and Byrd - he was at the sparq combine in Beaverton on the NIKE campus - not in Eugene :p
