To those of you who are wondering why BJ looks slow out there I'll tell you why. He is slow. DG talked about him being the deep threat yet he was the second slowest receiver on the team during the combine that DG ran this offseason and that was BEFORE he missed all of training camp with a foot injury. He is going to continue to disappoint as a deep threat and probably as a receiver in general. Unlike Fitz who is no speed burner himself he doesn't seem to be physical enough to go up and get the ball when he doesn't have separation. I just don't buy into all the talk of this dynamic trio at WR. Boldin is a proven commodity who now unfortunately has had 2 major knee injuries. Fitz is a rookie who has made some spectacular catches but it looks like he's making those due to the fact that he is being covered like a blanket with no separation and BJ has been singularly unimpressive since he got here.

BJ is a bigger bust than Pace atm because Pace isnt taking up a place on the field when he isnt ready to be a starter. Johnson is.

It is really hard to get seperation against New England. They play bump and run and blitz all the time. You have no time to let a play develop.

The way you counter that is to run screens, but unfortunately we threw 1 screen pass which ended up getting like 50 yards.

Johnson will be an outstanding 3 WR.

This team is going to have to bite the bullet and invest in a speed receiver. 3 possession receivers isn't going to cut it in this league.... Boldin and Fitz aren't going any where soon.... Johnson is the odd man out.

We should have drafted R. Williams

Yup.

here we go... 1 year and the guy is a bust?

AZCARDINALS4EVA

I swear! Our first round draft pick?! Only time i saw him make a "ok" catch was yesterday against new england, and that was it?! When will this guy come around? Or is it Mccown?

stretchthefield

No running game, cb's focus on staying with our wr's with no worries of our pathetic rb situation.

Lets trade Nate Poole & Bryant Johnson to KC for Larry Johnson!

Russ Smith

Who was so down on Pace in the preseason after 1 year?

Come on clif be fair.

i don't think we can give up on JOhnson yet.

CMack can you post the results of this Combine? You seem to be the only one who knows what happened, officially I believe the Cards deny they had one, Jim O even said so, but you keep mentioning it so you must have an inside source?

I myself would like to see what Newhouse can do as the 3rd reciever instead of Williams. I thought he made some things happen in the pre-season, unlike almost everyone else.

Hate to say I told you so, but Roy Williams always seemed the better need filler on this team for me. 3 slow receivers won't get it done.

Roy has looked like R O the Y so far.

I hate this thread because:
1 - BJ is coming off an injury - give him a break!
2 - He put up decent (not spectacular) -decent #'s last year.
3 - As fans, a lot of us got too pumped up and drank the koolaide this offseason.

be fair.. I am being fair... I never said pace was a bust. I recall saying he had an abdominal injury and did not participate in OTA's and that was why he was on the bench... then he came out and stated he was questioning his confidence and I said he was not presenting a mentality to overcome the situation and maybe we may need to move him around. so if you are trying to say I was not being fair then you are wrong.
