Brad Childress what does he know?
The Vikings released veteran wide out Bobby Wade and signing Greg Lewis. Bobby Wade was a good guy, liked in the locker room. I do now understand what Brad Childress is thinking. These players are pretty much interchangeable statistically speaking, Lewis probably has a bit more speed. But do the Vikings need more speed? at WR we have Harvin, Berrian, Raynaud, and Jaymar Johnson. whhooooosshh! A good possession receiver is what they need, is that was Lewis brings to this team?
Bobby Wade has seven years in NFL, and has led the Vikings in catches the past two seasons, 107 catches for 1,292 yards and five touchdowns in 26 starts.
Lewis in six seasons with Philadelphia made 23 starts. He had 127 catches for 1,699 yards and seven touchdowns. His best performance was in 2005, when he caught 48 passes for 561 yards and a touchdown while starting all 16 games.
The only thing I think is that Brad thinks this guy can do something on Punt coverage, that is still a weakness on this team and Lewis used to do just that, but I do not know how recently he has done any Special teams work.
