I was at the game against the Lions and Willies came up limp towards the end. Might have cost him. Either way I think they're putting a premium on speed at the WR position.
I think the 3rd perseason game and the most of first half of the 4th preseason game showed that Willies wasn't ready to be a spot fill in type player. I think he was let go for the same reason Strong was, if we had to ever rely on him as a 2nd or 3rd receiver it was going to be ugly. They wanted someone more consistent until Callaway comes back.
I could see Willies on the practice squad. I could also see them bring back Braxton or go after a similar type player that can come in with a handful of scripted plays a game, once they figure out the o-line situation. I still think they will make moves in the next week. Maybe they try to sneak Ratley or Forbes on to the practice squad. Maybe one of these new o-linemen that they traded for wins the starting job and they cut Kush.
