Dri Archer 7.0 - Fool's Gold?

[keslerclan]

Dion Lewis at 5'-6 1/2" and 193# sure looked pretty solid for a shrimp player. I think he embarrassed each player on defense...some multiple times.

 

[DBS1970]

Maybe we can move Archer to DB.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I was willing to give Archer a second training camp, but he still has no role on this team. At this point, the Steelers should bring in a player who can help the team.

You mean the guy that is on his 3rd team in 4 years? The guy that has 240 yards rushing and 72 yards receiving in 4 years? The guy that fumbled the ball on the 4 yard line? That guy?

I like Dion Lewis, but I had to laugh when Collinsworth was praising him during the game. Come on man, look at the defense he is playing against. They could have lined up anyone in that backfield and they still would have been productive.

Lol no doubt! Could you imagine if it would have been Steelers vs Vikings Thurs night, and we had to endure watching A. Peterson thrashing this defense?? *shudders*::'

so many mistakes by Colbert aside from Tuitt, Decastro, Shazier Dupree, and hopefully Mcullers become s a good Rotating NT/NG as well as golsen.
Colbert's fa's have been brutal, I hope he gets serious about fixing the mess we at both s spots, Mitchell was a terrible signing and Thomas looks like he will never unseat will Allen, and at best will be st player or at best a 7th db.

Welp, Bell's back. It was nice knowing you Archer. Maybe if you were alittle taller kickoffs wouldn't sail over your head as much. Hello Todman.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

i'm thinking Dri will be cut for Bell's return. If he didn't play with Bell and Martavis both out then when will he ever play? Hopefully they can trade him for a 6 or 7. All it takes is 1 team that liked him in college and thinks they can make him a return man or 3rd down back.

 

[slashsteel]

Yeah It seems like Arch's touches have been limited. He is the deserved cut, but will be interesting to see if he is the one who gets the axe.

Trade him to the Pats. Belichick and that coaching staff were shaking in their sandals all week, dreading the matchup with All-World Dri Archer.

 

[TDX27]

He better be cut the second Bell is reactivated. Too many better players on the team. He hasn't contributed a thing or shown he can contribute.

 

[Stryker]

Todmann > Archer.

 

[madinsomniac]

EMPTY ROSTER SPOT > Archer.

Fixed it for you

 

[antdrewjosh]

Yep this might be it.

 

[Djfan]

I feel bad for the guy. He was mislead by the Steelers' brass. He is not NFL material and we told that he was.

Look out CFL. Here comes a weapon.

 

[Hines57]

The paper that can not be named has an article that says our dearest Dri could get cut with Bell back. Will be interesting to see if this is what the FO does having to make room for Bell on the active roster. Probably won't see anything until Wednesday.

 

[DocScott]

So long Dri Archer!!!! I hope the front office's experiment with drafting these type of players (Archer, Rainey, etc.) are over!!!!

93.7 speculating that this morning also.

 

[bermudasteel]

I found no fault in Dri - this season. over 90% of the kickoffs have been TBs. Doesn't matter "who" you have to stand back in the EZ for that...

Maybe they should put Spaeth back there - since he's 6'8" and all???

If only the Edmonton Eskimos could trade their 6th to the Steelers....

 

[Vader]

Wait, I thought you couldn't teach speed? I thought size didn't matter? I thought they'd teach him to return punts, play slot WR and backup RB? How can you cut someone that runs a 4.2 in short?

 

[chipped ham]

I think the nail was hammered in his coffin last week. I swear that I read somewhere that Todd Haley, when approached about why Archer hasn't seen the field, said something along the lines of "he needs to start showing us on gameday what he does on the practice field before he sees the field" or something to that extent. And after seeing Todman's hard nose run yesterday, he's already shown to be an improvement over Archer.

See yaz,...........don't let the door hit you in the "shoulders".............



Salute the nation

 

[Litos]

this should be the end of that experiment. Next draft throw a flyer on a returner from the 5th round on, thanks
