Dream (but Realistic) Offseason

Speaking of tall receivers, you think Billy McMullen will do anything? He's been kind of a bust so far in his career but he does have WCO experience. Personally, I'm not holding out high hopes for him. I'm on the Burl Toler bandwagon or maybe the Maurice Mann bandwagon

Seriously though, I still like Reche (though not as a #1)

I'll have to check out Toler and Mann (I've got lots of work to do familiarizing myself with all these new prospects).

I guess I've lost patience with Randle El. When we signed him up in '06, I always referred to him as the Lexus when a Camry would have done just fine. We had decent special teams last year, and he never did find the endzone or provide any sort of spark on returns. I can't tell you how many times during the past season I found myself saying, "boy, we could sure use a big return from Randle El here" -- but it never materialized. And yes, I understand the cap hit we would take if he were released, so that's not going to happen. I just don't think there would be that big of a difference in actual on-field production if he were somehow no longer on the roster.

McMullen is a Virginia boy, so he's OK in my book. I like Reche too. He came up for us big in some spots last year.
