Not really the vibe I got from the interview vibe I got was he hope they are there but doubts it. Hogan is showing some skills but lets temper he hasn't faced any teams number 1 or 2 db.
Hartline, for his career, is averaging 38 yards per game and less than 2 TDs per year. That's over 44 games, 4 missed in 2010. Bess is averaging about the same number of yards per game and less than 3 TDs per season. Miami's WRs have sucked for the past four years, with Hartline on board for 3 of those years and Bess on board for all 4. The only WR that kept the unit afloat, Brandon Marshall, is gone. And he had the dropsies last year anyway. If Bess and Hartline were really good, we'd be fine at WR. They are not, and we are not. And yet the notion seems to exist that they are untouchable, which baffles me. What they are, at best, is a couple of complimentary pieces. If we lost one or both of them it wouldn't bother me one iota, and quite frankly I'd rather see some new blood and devote roster spots to that potential than that than go with a crew that I know will be average at best. We should have drafted Joe Adams, we will in all likelihood be drafting WRs high in the next couple of years, and Bess and Hartline are a ticket to average, at best. Bess does some things well, no doubt, but he's a nickel and dimer, not a threat. And the thought of him returning punts again next year makes me want to take a nap. Roll the bones, take a chance- as we speak this WR crew sucks. I'll say it again- give me the choice of Bess, Hartline or Hogan and I'll take Hogan. At least Hogan can, maybe, be special. I'm pretty sure at this point that's more than Bess or Hartline will ever be.
