Enough about Ashley Lelie

Way too much is being made of the Ashley Lelie saga. Is he a talent? Yes. He's got speed, height and jumping ability. But for all the talk about his big-play capabilities, he only caught one touchdown last year. Further, his 42 receptions in 2005 isn't terrible, but it isn't exactly Marvin Harrison-like production either. Word is the...

Concerning your comment on Darris Watts, "However, last year he was hardly used and hasn't done much in the preseason thus far."

"The No. 1 offense and defense are expected to get 20 plays - or roughly through the first series into the second quarter - against the Titans. But when the offense calls for a three-receiver set, Darius Watts won't line up at No. 3 receiver."

"No, Watts hasn't been demoted. He started with rookie Brandon Marshall last week at Detroit when starting receivers Rod Smith and Javon Walker were resting their legs. Smith and Walker will play Saturday, but after the 20-play mark, Shanahan wants to get a good look at his receiver depth."

"Marshall suffered a knee injury against the Lions and may miss the rest of the preseason. With Watts a known commodity, the competition for the final receiver spots is between David Kircus, Todd Devoe, David Terrell and Brian Clark."

Concerning, "Kircus has never been a factor in the pros, but did lead the team in receiving in its first preseason game (though he only had one reception in the second)."

Like Watts, he has basically locked up a spot and so didn't play as many down to give the coaches a look at the player on the bubble. His one catch on the game was arguably the nicest catch of the game! I've watch the game three time already on my DVR.

Agreed. Bad for the league. Jerry Porter should shut up and play as well. So far he's been a paper tiger. Ash has at least been consistent and in my opinion would be an asset. Philly could make the most out of him. Grossman will make the Chi town IR list, and Griese has proven to be, well, Griese...
Atlanta has Vick, but with Duckett's departure, Michael's poise and composure will be tested. With the usual mixed results...
With undrafted rookie phenom Hank Baskett making his case, the addition of Lelie to the Eagle air core would be dread news indeed for defenses of the NFC.

leile was never a factor in our offense. i, for one, am extremely happy to see him gone! in my mind, if you don't want to play for us, then you are dead to me. i never really liked leile anyways. we need another eddy mac! i think we have one, if not better than, in javon walker! we will be alright without the little baby leile! 1 td doesn't give you any leverage in wanting to become the #1 reciever in denver! good riddance loser! have fun in atlanta being the #3 reciever! what a jackass! $100 bucks leile catches 2 only 2 td's this year! that would be an improvement from last year! lol! loser.
