WR Carlton Mitchell to see action this Sunday

[IschY]

Lets just say Mitchell comes in and plays really well. Lets say 6 catches 90 yards and a TD. What would you think of Mangini keeping him on the bench all year behind players like Robiske, Stuckey, MoMass, and Cribbs? All year long we have been calling for a deep threat even if he can't catch I still thinking someone that is as big and as fast as him he could at least stretch the field opening things up for some of our other receivers.

Why did he fall to the 6th round?

Why did Tom Brady?

Point is (not saying he's on the same level as Brady) that you never know.

I'm not saying he is not going to be good. Which is a great thing. Just curious why he dropped that far with that height and speed.

Basically the way I understand it he fell because he was only a first year starter and went into the draft as a junior.

I just say give the kid a chance. I know the coaches watch him more than I ever have, but the kid is a good ball player. He may not ever satisfy our #1 role, but he'll be a good reciever.

Mangini is practicing his same approach with Mitchell that he has with everybody else: You get what you earn.

And right now, especially with the junk we've got at receiver, he has yet to step up to the plate. But Mangini was effusive this week in his praise of Mitchell. If EM gives an unsolicited remark about someone in a presser, then they've done what they've needed to do to get on the field.

I am excited about this guy because he's got NFL-class speed, unlike MoMass and Robo.

While I don't long for the days of BE, I am growing frustrated by the week with our receiving corps. It's ridiculous that Evan Moore can split out wide and catch 25-yd. balls with regularity, but #11 and #80 can't shake free of anybody.

Colt looks like he can be an accurate passer, which makes it even more maddening.

I like this. I think there has to be some sort of minimum standard to merit a start.

Figures a guy who was sitting on his couch gets more offensive snaps than Mitchell.

How did he "earn" that over Mitchell?

I only saw Figures out there on that end around and he tripped up. I assume he only got to do it because as of right now he is the fastest guy on the team.
