He is back on the team! lol I guess he was only released to be put on the practice roster. That makes me feel a hole lot better now He will be back on the active roster later this season if our receivers get injured.
Even though we have Tre Smith we could still use JoJo back there returning kickoffs but thats not really enough to keep you on the active roster.
JoJo is a good depth receiver to have and will do what is expected of him when called upon.
If Walker was better he'd be starting and we'd be wondering about who Cohen is.
His only shot, apart from a rash of injuries, was p/k returns but along came Tre Smith.
Like I said he has been injured so he couldnāt start or we would have in week one. It was just bad luck on his part but oh well life goes on.
All Iām saying is Eddie Cohen has done nothing special for him to start as a receiver over Walker. I know I am biased about walker but its pretty clear he is the weakest out of the starters so far.
Itās not like Iām comparing Walker to Mitchell who by the way has the exact same amount of receptions as Cohen but 63 more yards receiving.
What has Cohen showed that Walker hasnāt from last season? please I would like to see how you compare the two.
Speedā¦ HELL NO! walker is one of the fastest players on our team. Just watch that punt return against Edmonton last season and tell me Cohen has more speedā¦what a JOKE!
GBonds, I agree with Zontar. As I said before, stats aren't everything and they don't always tell the whole story. When I look at the two, I think Zontar hit the nail on the head: "Way more upside, more potential. Bigger target for the QB along with the speed."
I also don't like Walker as a returner. He had one good game last year in this department and other then that he was pretty much the worst return man in the league statistically. (Now using my own logic that doesn't mean everything, but in this case it was also painful to watch.)
So as I said before, I really didn't see what Walker's purpose was on this team and I didn't understand how he made the team in the first place. Right now, he adds deep depth but as Zontar said, something seriously bad would have to happen for him to get in.
This is nothing personal and I commend you for sticking up for your boy, but 5-foot-11, 200-pounds is a MUCH bigger target than 5-foot-9, 169 pounds. There is no question about that.
I donāt know how fast he is, but he certainly canāt show it off when heās getting hammered by guys three times his size.
Walker got injured in practice the day before the week 1 game and he was suppose to start. lol I give up on this topic there is no reasoning with you guys at all. Walker is good enough to be a 4th receiver or 5th. You guys are acting like I am saying he will be our #1 guy.
Now all this arguing about 2 players that are not even starting this week LOL.
I know we have disagreed about Walker before but I am just saying he is good enough to play for us.
One thing I will say is JoJo has more career Touchdowns than 5 of the 8 receivers on our roster. ok, ok I will stop with the statistics... I'm just kidding around now.
That's not saying much that he's good enough to be a 4th or 5th receiver right now. I think there are many interchangeable players that could be a 5th receiver. I'm just saying I'd rather have players that can develop into a top-three at that spot then a very small receiver (and let's not beat around the bush....he's tiny and not very strong) with less potential.
I don't think you sign a guy or activate a guy to be a career 5th receiver.
I am actually surprised Jo Jo lasted this long. I thought he signed his own pink slip when he decided to dance around the end zone last year after that missed field goal.
He was a borderline 3rd or 4th receiver. Obie said he only wants imports that have the ability to start and excel. Unfortunately, Jo Jo hasn't show that ability thus far.
You never know, maybe he will prove me wrong in the near future.
