If you don't think your backup is at least as good as your dinged up starter who is not performing, what does that say about the reserve guy?
He is admitting an injury now and perhaps that will help get Williams some playing time. Edwards was very impressive early on and he and Alex had chemistry, so I would hate to see him regress any more. It would be so nice to finish the season with at least two WRs playing every game so the O could jell and become more efficient. That is the only problem this year and while many would blame Smith, it seems obvious to me that the WRs are not making an impact as they should.
Harbaugh's system is TE friendly but the team seems to be trying to get the WRs more involved at the expense of the TEs. Just have to wait for it all to come together. I'm almost ready to have VD and Walker play WR at this point!
Ginn actually surprised me last week and played well until the last play...so maybe he and Smith are starting to get it together?
