You have to figure a 3rd and 5th are the sort of guys that would be big time special teams contributers in the next couple years so they may be sacrificing a lot in the special teams department for the potential to upgrade on offense.

Stuckey's a solid slot receiver, not much more and Trusnik is a terrific special teams player, not much more. My guess is Tannenbaum felt that with Izzo, Wallace Wright, Brad Smith, etc., we'll be OK on specials. I'm also guessing he didn't want to give up Stuckey, but Mangini didn't want a total loss at the position.

I honestly don't care if Edwards catches a million passes, if he hauls in a deep throw or two per game and keeps the drops to a minimum, I'll be happy. That way defenses can't double Cotchery and/or put 8-9 in the box to stop TJ, Leon and Shonn.

As you can see I'm already trying to talk myself into liking this.
