The REVISED Chris Chambers Thing


One thing for sure is that Chambers can have his old #84 back. It hasn't exactly been retired as of yet. The guy could ball though. Mayhaps again?

As many of you may already know, Chris Chambers was cut from the Chargers late today after having a very unproductive year for them. 9 catches for 125 yards (I think) is the actual stat line.

That said there is obvious discussion of whether the Phins should take a look at bringing back Chambers, who incidentally is Ted Ginn's cousin.

I honestly don't know about this. Chambers can play, of that I'm sure. But he is that sort of player that needs too many things to go his way in order to rise to the occasion. His best year, which earned him a Pro Bowl trip, was with Gus Ferrote slinging the ball. Chambers is a speedster with decent size who can catch and run out a nicely thrown slant, which is also something that is bread & butter to young Chad Henne.

Chambers is also drop-prone on comeback or stop routes, something that Henne already has enough troubles with.

The one thing I will say here is that Chambers can make the circus catch. He has always excelled at catching the big play long-ball type stuff so long as it involved his hands being away from his body.

Basically I could go either way on this one. If they sign him after he makes his way through waivers I won't hate the decision. If they don't I really won't care either.

Take CC or leave CC, we need to get the offense firing for the Patriots this weekend.

REVISION


I wanted to add the fact that the Chargers are a one-dimensional team. A pass only team that can't run the ball. The Phins of course are the opposite and perhaps play action could provide winnable match-ups for Chambers. Worth thinking about.
Your thoughts?
