i'm glad we drafted this young man..

he reminds me of michael downs... a true ballhawk with excellent tackling ability.

he will come in handy against the likes of matt jones on sunday.

I really haven't seen much of him in pre-season except for the occasional tackle, so I hope after a good defensive game plan, we can also see his blitz skills.

I hope so. I said it in another thread - Jones isn't dominant and may still not develop into his statistical potential. But at this point, Watkins is really our best answer for him.

why summer?

you're talking to a huge mike downs fan...

please elaborate.

I'm just saying you're a little late on the Down's comparison, everyone and their mother has been comparing him to Downs, for a long time now

5'9" Aaron Glenn did pretty well against Plexiglass

I was going to say - Plax can be handled by Henry.

I'm not so concerned with Matt Jones - he gets a look or two a game, but he isn't a Randy Moss at this point. I just don't want one of those 50 yd things to the endzone with a guy a foot shorter covering him.

:bang2: look at it like this, the Watkins to Downs comparison is pretty much common knowledge now, it's not a knock on anyone, DOwns or Watkins, or the comparisin, it's just that Watkins has been openly compared to Downs, esp. on here, for a long time now, at least 30 people have made the same comparison

I'm not upset, just letting you know how redundant the comparison has become ;)
