Austin Pettis released by Rams

Pego61 : 10/20/2014 5:50 pm

Considering our relative lack of depth at WR, I felt that a kick the tires threat was warranted. Former 3rd round pick. Hasn't lived up to expectations, but hasn't been terrible either.
Austin Pettis - ( New Window )

If he runs a 4.9 in the 40

Then he's our man. Any quicker than that and it's prob a bit too sexy for JR.

Which is why he drafted Beckham who has run in the 4.3s.

According to Garafolo on Twitter,

he was late for a meeting on Saturday. Explains why he was inactive yesterday and maybe what led to this today.

why not

Also a Special Teams Contributor

Per PFT, he has contributed both on offense and on special teams as a punt and kickoff returner.
Rams waive Austin Pettis - ( New Window )

Got to have more upside than Ogie Ogilthorpe

I would think???

kick the tires....

unless he was body slamming teammates .
unless he was smoking weed �during� team meetings.
unless he idolizes Percy Harvin.

I would kick the tires

TheDarkKnight : 10/20/2014 10:04 pm : link

I always thought he was an Amani Toomer type of receiver. He was very inconsistent in St. Louis but with a real QB throwing him the ball he could end up being a nice surprise. I think he has a much higher upside than Ogletree but some other team will probably put in a waiver claim before we have a chance.

Any worse

....didn't think he played bad at all
