Will Watts ever see the field again? - The Orange Mane

Goobzilla · 10-23-2005, 09:45 PM

Has he slid that far? I saw Devoe out there, but no Watts? Is Darius finished here? Pryce is the only guy I've seen get out of Shanny's doghouse without a bus ticket in his hand. Uphill battle for the kid, no doubt.

I don't know. I was shocked when they announced him innactive though. I did think that this might be the end for him in Denver.

Devoe plays Special Teams, Watts does not, Sam Brandon was out. I am guessing Watts will see the field again.

Out for 3 weeks with a torn Pectoral muscle.

He's done. For whatever reason this kid has simply dissapeared. He has 2 catches and 22 yards more than me for the season. At least trot out David Terrell and see if he can do anything or give Devoe a shot. Once again we have no 3rd receiver.

I'm seeing things

Maybe we gave up on the GOAT too quickly?

Maybe we should just draft somebody who can play.

That would also be acceptable.

ludo21 · 10-23-2005, 10:27 PM

No, hes not done, i really doubt he is in the dog house. Anotehr reason he was deactive was because Nasty Nate finally saw the field!!!

Jackson gives us a very good threat at the TE spot. Im really glad we have him and i expect after he gets used to the game speed again he will start making some plays.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly right.

If you're somewhere down the depth chart other than first team...and in some cases even then...you had better play Special Teams, and play them well, or you won't see the field very often (barring injury emergencies)

He's not done? What else would you call a catch every 3 games? At his current pace he'll finish with 5 catches for 55 yards for the SEASON. House is doing better than he is. Maybe he should be the 3rd receiver. Face it...Watts is a bust.

I dont really know how to respond. 2nd year in the league and labled a bust already. Im still at the wait and see spot with him, so we'll see. Lelie didnt have a good year till his 3rd season, so maybe we got another of that type.

Sassy · 10-23-2005, 10:40 PM

Why was Dayne inactive?

Tw0mey · 10-23-2005, 10:40 PM

Who cares if Watts is done, he won't be a number 1 receiver in this league, and I doubt he will be a good number 2. He's a flop.

TE's were to be a focus in this game plan, but when Putzier & Alexander dropped important chain moving passes in the first & second quarters, it appears Shanahan changed things up.

watermock · 10-23-2005, 11:10 PM

He sucks...he drops balls...he will be on the roster one more training camp....too much talent, but he's not really gameworthy at this point...we need to get another WR. don't start on the Devo and such...

A real potential #1. Lelie just isn't a number one...We need a Rod Smith clone...I hope rod can hold on for two more years but man...we are pushing our luck here....

watermock · 10-23-2005, 11:11 PM

I'm so pissed about that game I just want to talk about Philly

NFLBRONCO · 10-23-2005, 11:14 PM

I'd give Watts as long as he needs none of our wr's are tearing it up on a constant basis.

Popps · 10-24-2005, 12:04 AM

I really felt that Bell and Watts were the keys to getting us the offensive spark we needed. I guess I was half-right.

Watts has all the tools. I'm guessing he just doesn't practice well. Shanahan is huge on good practicing and maybe he's not getting it done. He blocked well and caught a few balls in his last appearances. He just must not be doing something right. Too bad. He's got freakish speed and looks as fluid running routes as any young receiver we've had in Denver. Hope he can turn it around.

Kaylore · 10-24-2005, 12:17 AM

Watts last catches have gone for first downs. I don't think its safe to rule him out yet. I suspect it has something to do with injuries.

maven · 10-24-2005, 12:28 AM

The claw is done. ice him down, cut him up and serve him with a plate of raw oysters.

Seriously though, even if he pans out what do you see out of him? A nice 3rd WR? Lelie is clearly our 2. We need a Michael Clayton/Roy Williams/Andre Johnson type. Big, strong, fast WR. The only problem is I really don't see big time play out of the current WR's in college coming out this year.

And Jackson missed at least one important block.
