Who are you guys hoping will be the #3 reciever? Personally I want Victor Cruz to get it, if Steve Smith doesn't re-sign/isn't ready for week 1.

Cruz has serious ball skills. Cruz has been a favorite of mine for awhile. It was a blessing he had that injury last season & was put on PUP(even though he would only be out a short period) lol.. it allowed us to retain him



Don't sleep on Hixon though, he's been looking good in camp, so I wouldn't rule him out.


I'd go with Cruz though. Jernigan is definitely in the competition.

I fell in love with Cruz after I saw his highlights in the Jets preseason game last year, somehow last year I never saw them...

I wouldn't be terribly upset it Hixon got it though, I don't have the greatest memories of him, I remember the season before last he had a few key drops.

Jernigan I haven't seen much so I can't really judge yet, he sounds like a stud though.

Surprise best of 2010: Brandon Jacobs, BenJarvus Green-Ellis


Quote

Naturally, armed with rusher rating, we wanted to know which ball carriers were the most productive in 2010. We don’t have to normalize the numbers in this case, because we’re looking at players from a single season.

Once again, the results are surprising.

Arian Foster, for example, was the break-out star of 2010, with a league-best 1,616 rushing yards. But he was not necessarily the most effective running back last season.

That honor goes to punishing ball carrier Brandon Jacobs of the New York Giants. He was followed by a true shocker: BenJarvus Green-Ellis, “the law firm” who unexpectedly handled the bulk of the work of the 14-2 Patriots last year; and then Michael Bush, who shared duties with Darren McFadden in Oakland’s highly productive rushing attack.

Jacobs had an incredibly high ever per attempt and a great touchdown ratio: 9 scores in just 147 carries. Green-Ellis skyrockets up the list for obvious reasons: his 13 rushing touchdowns were second in the NFL (with 98 fewer carries than league-leader Foster) and he did not fumble once all year. That’s a very effective effort. Bush also had a high touchdown percentage without a single fumble.

You’ll notice from this list that rusher rating is much like passer rating in that it rewards players for efficiency, not for volume. Running more often doesn’t make you more effective as a running back, just like passing more often doesn’t make you more effective as a quarterback.

You're holding out hope for that? If he was going to even be close to playing week 1 other teams would have looked him over as well.

Giants will be lucky if he plays at all this season.

He'll definitely start the season on PUP & be eased back in once he's ready. We still have to sign him lol

T2
Bruce Johnson
