What Can Be Done at WR?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You guys had some good responses to Jeff Schultz’s insightful column about Jim Mora’s assessment of the Falcons’ wide receivers.
Not one of the top tier guys made a “wow” play during the morning practice, however, Cole Magner had his share. The rookie free agent, if he keeps this up, is going to make it hard for the coaching staff to cut him. There isn’t a play he isn’t making. Magner isn’t a top-four receiver, but he could be someone in a year or two who develops into a Brian Finneran-type.
In the short term, it appears that Dez White, Roddy White and Finneran are part of the Falcons’ plans. Mora’s comments about Peerless Price left the door open to him staying or being cut, so only time will tell about his future here.
What is Atlanta to do? Do you think they can go into the season with this group of receivers or are they going to have to make some kind of move — trade, waiver wire acquisition? By the way, don’t even bring up T.O. He won’t be coming here.
