Where's Will

PrintI haven't heard anything in the past week about the injury status of Will Franklin. We need him back sorely. Minus his one long catch Darling is not high on my list. And, there is a lot of pressure on Bowe right now to be the man, which I think contributed to his concentration issues (drops) last Sunday. Franklin, I think, adds the depth we need at reciever. Does anyone have any news on the status of WIll Franklin?

I Wouldn't Get Too Bummed That Franklin's Out
Even with talented players who avoid injuries, rookie receivers rarely contribute much to their teams. Bowe and Calvin Johnson (who had a decent year despite an injured back) are actually unique in their ability to play well their first season. The career progression of somebody like Marvin Harrison (didn’t play his first three years) is more indicative of a receiver’s development.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.
From what we've seen though
Franklin is an upgrade over Darling or Webb, our current options at #2…he may not be great, but he doesn’t need to be to be better than those two.
Every little bit helps
I agree he is no Eddie Royal or DeSean Jackson at this point, but at least he can take a little heat of Bowe.
His Speed Will Make a Difference
Just getting him on the field will be a difference maker. Even if he isn’t the primary target, he will be respected and covered for his speed, and pull the corner or safety out of the box. Even if he doesn’t catch a ball, he can make an impact in the running game.
i wonder
if t were will franklin making that catch last week instead of devard darling, would it have been a touchdown instead of down at the 5
Probably not
From what I’ve heard, Darling is supposed to be faster than Franklin.

thats wat i meant about franklin
getting further. maybe not just franklin but any other reciever would have been looking foward running like there is no tomorrow. but i do think we should have let lj try to take it in the endzone.
