With Miles' hamstring bothering him, there's no need to play him in this game. It'll be nice to see what Ogletree, Harris and the other young guys can do. Miles wouldn't have played much anyway.

really looking forward to seeing how Harris is doing. Oggletree as well.
 
Ya, I'm anxious to see if Harris can have another repeat perfomance. I would like to see a bit of Leong too.
 
It would be great to see if Ogletree and Harris get some reps with the first team to see what they can do. I'm also hoping that Lonyae Miller gets some reps behind the first team O-Line to see if he will fare a little better than last game.
 
I think we all know what to expect from rookies and a 1 or 2 year pro like Ogletree. They'll struggle.

Lol thanks.
 
If this isn't an indicator of us needing to pick up a veteran addition at receiver, I don't know what is. Hopefully Sunday night we'll get a preview of what the season may be like if Miles or Dez goes down. Hopefully Jerry will search free agency after this game.

You two guys are big heaping rays of sunshine...
 
I know many here hate on the guy, but I really would like to see what Jesee Holley can do in the slot.

Holley actually has good hands and is an okay route runner, but in the slot, you really need to have a knack for finding the open zone and still get in the general area where the BQ expects you to be. That takes quickness, not speed.

The question is, can Holley play with that quickness as a slot WR. If he can he'll make this team as the last WR on the depth chart because he's already a proven player - and among the better ones - on special teams.
 
I agree, no need for Austin to play. I wanna see Poots and Harris more.

Yeah that Harris sure struggled the first game.

If I could cut one player from this roster it would be him.

Enough with the nonsense. The guy is an NFL Europe caliber player.

What would the Eagles' season be like if DeSean Jackson goes down?

What would the Texans' season be like if Andre Johnson goes down?

The Lions and Cal?

The Jets and Holmes?

I could go on and on.

Fact is we have two legitimate 1s at WR. That's pretty good.

Good observation. See if Ogletree can prove anything, Harris to show he can repeat even half of what he did the 1st game. I would like to see Radway get some more reps too. As well as holley, and any improvements he may have made.

Holley sucks as a WR. He's almost 28 years old and has never caught an NFL pass. I know he has a lot of fans because of the TV show, but the guy is just not talented enough to be a WR in the NFL.

This. He really needs to show something with Harris breathing down his back. I know it was just one preseason game against scrubs, but Harris was impressive last week. Ogletree was OK, but he didn't have any really big plays. I'm rooting for all of them. May the best man win the third spot.

I'm not sure that Ogletree and Harris are exactly competing head to head. Ogletree is more of an outside WR than a slot guy, while Harris was mainly brougtht in for his ability to play in the slot.

So it's less relvant which one - Ogletree or Harris - will be our #3 or #4 WRs. Both will make the team because they each contribute differnet/unique skill sets. So both can equally see the field based on injuries, situations and formatios that Garrett might want to run.

So I wonder more about who wins the 5th WR spot, and even the 6th if we go 6-deep at WR. that's why I think the second half of the upcoming preseason game will be interesting from that perspective.
 
Well Garrett had some good things to say about Ogletree today in his press conference so I think he will be just fine.
