bumpersb Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 The Miami O has lots of question marks. With what should be an improved running game and if Feely can get an extra second from the line to throw the ball. Does the addition of Boston make him, Chambers and Booker a better than average receiving corp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Main problem, as I see it, is that Boston is a headcase. You just never know what you're going to get. If, and I emphasize the word "if", Boston decides to play and can stay healthy and can stay out of trouble, I think he could be a decent WR. He has the tools, we've all seen that. However, there are way too many conditions necessary for that to happen, so he's a HUGH risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captains Wench Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 One thing to consider with Boston is that Miami no longer has Jerry Sullivan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpersb Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Kinda my feeling about Sullivan. His best years were with sullivan. I expected 1,000 yards with him last year befor the injury by re-uniting with Sullivan and his weight loss. Although now he is not being asked to be the #1 or 2 guy.

msaint Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Does the addition of Boston make him, Chambers and Booker a better than average receiving corp? 816807[/snapback] Not with Stoney Case or whoever the helll they have throwing to them.

Fantasy Jesus Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hudson Houck will eventually make this entire OLine better. Not sure if that will happen in year one but it will happen. Houck is Miami's best offseason move. Boston is low risk high reward IMO. He's making the vet minimum and he around 230 lbs as opposed to 260 last year. Another fact is that he's only 27 years old. I always thought he was older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBunz Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Another fact is that he's only 27 years old. I always thought he was older. 817629[/snapback] Nope.....just rewatched the 1997 RoseBowl highlights on ESPN CLassic yesterday...Boston....Plummer.....and Tillman. Edited to add:.....and Pace.....and Derek Smith.....and Vrabel....and Derrick Rogers......and Poole......who Winfield handily shut down. Edit2: No....he won't make a huge difference. The "natural, homeopathic, GNC - I swear there's no effedrin, milkshake drinking, plant derivatives and extracts for better living" community has him taking 65 unknown capsules a day still. It really cuts into his workout schedule. Edited May 19, 2005 by SteelBunz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Miami does not have Sullivan - but they do have Linehan (and the wides coach) from Minn - who have some experience in dealing with head case wides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duchess Jack Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Sure, I am a homer - but how do you cover....McMichael, Chambers, Boston, Booker and Ronnie Brown? Sure - they need someone to get them the ball - but dang!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpersb Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Miami does not have Sullivan - but they do have Linehan (and the wides coach) from Minn - who have some experience in dealing with head case wides. I was fully aware that sullivan is no in SF and no longer with Miami. Great point about Linehan though. Does the addition of Boston make him, Chambers and Booker a better than average receiving corp? You're kidding, right!?!? Even though I am a homer, i am not kidding. I think San Diego was ranked like 27 at the start of last year. The main area of concern was the offensive line. The person who gets the most credit for the line's trunaround is Houck. Do you see any reason why he can't do the same for Miami? Now I don't expect any pro bowl accolades for Feely but I see their offense being much better than people anticipate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone said Taylor was a risk, Boston's history is worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone said Taylor was a risk, Boston's history is worse. 818341[/snapback] I think because you can probably get him cheaply, maybe as a #4 or #5 wide, and he could produce #1 numbers. If your draft has 16 or 18 rounds, and you can get him in the 9th or so round, that would be low risk to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be the Dolphins 3rd WR at best. If thats' not low risk high reward I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampnuts Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Boston may be a moron, but people forget that he's got major fantasy stud ability. Boston's a great flyer pick in the late rounds. I'd rather use a 15-17 round pick on him than a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
