DMD Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 they talked about this last year and nothing really happened. It's like so many top flight cornerbacks that get hype they are going to be a receiver to make use of their "big time skills" and at most they end up an occasional gimmick. Cannot imagine that Hester would have anything near to the consistency you need from a fantasy wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must not be doing to well at DB??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 they talked about this last year and nothing really happened.

Cannot imagine that Hester would have anything near to the consistency you need from a fantasy wideout. There's a difference this time. This isn't exactly the same as Champ Bailey trying out at WR. He didn't show much at CB, why not try him out at WR, see if he can make some plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 And this move is gonna make Rex Grossman be a solid QB...how??? I'll admit to not knowing enough about Hester to say whether or not it'll be a good move. But what's the use of adding more speed to the WR corps (Berrian is a burner as well, isn't he?) when the problem is the guy who throws the football? This move and the thought process behind it (speed...speed...SPEED!) reeeeeks of Al Davis' philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 the way that kid can return kicks and punts, I wouldn't risk hurting him on a pass play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 the way that kid can return kicks and punts, I wouldn't risk hurting him on a pass play. Truly a 180 from the usual "for God's sake don't put Randy Moss at KR/PR, he'll get hurt". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 With the success Furrey had making the switch, it doesn't surprise me if more teams try something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 thus the need to waste a draft pick on Wolfe for what reason now??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The problem is Hester wants to play DB, that's what prevented this switch last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Didn't he drop more kicks than he returned though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Decoy. He'll run an occasional reverse to keep D's honest the 6 plays he's on the field. Big deal. Let's remember DB's are DB's for a reason: they have lousy hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 There's a difference this time. This isn't exactly the same as Champ Bailey trying out at WR. He didn't show much at CB, why not try him out at WR, see if he can make some plays? Reminds me too much of Desmond Howard. He could do it, but has anyone done it lately?

carrb69 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 With the success Furrey had making the switch, it doesn't surprise me if more teams try something similar. The difference here is that Furrey was a WR that converted to CB or S in StL after a few years of not getting playing time at WR, then converted back to WR in Det. Not exactly the same thing.
