Amendola makes this team if...and only if we keep six WRs.
But I don't think we should.
We have some very good CBs on the roster. Young, fast....CBs are hard to find, we found out last year how tough it was to replace good CBs.
I don't think Amendola will be amoung our top five WRs.
Parcells is often villified on these boards, but he really had some good philosophies. One of these was on the bottom WRs. He said that the fourth and fifth WRs (especially the fifth WR) should not just sit around and do nothing. He wanted them to have a role on special teams.
Will Amendola? Maybe....we'll have to see. I know he probably won't be our KR (Austin, Jones, Stanback) or PR (A Jones, Crayton). Can he be a gunner? He's awfully small for that. I doubt he could pull it off.
If he doesn't play STs, then he'll just sit around doing nothing waiting for an injury. I doubt he would make it on the field otherwise. Can he seriously beat out Hurd/Crayton for the third WR spot? Do you want to pull off Witten, Barber, or even Felix Jones just to get a fourth WR in the game?
Austin and Stanback right now offer more to the team than Amendola would. They offer the potential of becoming more than number three WRs. Both offer more to special teams.
Now, a lot can happen. We can have an ****** or Amendola may go "lights out" and really do something big in the games (which he needs to do). He may show he can cover on STs. Austin may not show any improvement at all.....So I guess we all need to be guarded somewhat with our judgements. But right now, I just don't think he'll make the team. He's a great story...he's a guy we all can pull for....but it will take something spectacular for him to make it on the team.
