But of course. I think signing him will push Roddy White back into the third WR slot and he can use his experience to help the other WR in Atlanta who haven't had as much game and playoff experience as he has. I look for him and Jenkins to be the #2 and #1 WR respectively. Atlanta will still be a running team, but I think Lelie gives the Falcons three legitimate deep threats that if nothing will draw defenses even more away from Vick so he will be free to run a little more than he was last year.

Help, of course, create a playoff season for them? Not likely. He's good, but he's not top class. Steve Smith is a WR that can make a team a into something special, or Chad Johnson, Torry Holt, you know, the big name guys. Lelie just hasn't shown those skills yet and with Vick still at QB..they'll be a running team and Lelie wont have as big of an impact as some people may think. Schaub would compliment Lelie better at this point, but Atlanta wants ticket sales, not championsips I guess. My Panthers have Delhomme now, but let me tell you, if he got hurt, Schaub is a guy I'd love to have on the team to take over, he doesn't deserve to be a back up to Vick....bummer.

He'll make opposing defenses stay honest and play the pass a little more instead of stacking 8 men at the line of scrimmage. So he'll actually end up helping out the run game more than the pass game. He's a weapon that can't be ignored, and Jim Mora Jr. will probably use him as a decoy to make more running room for Michael Vick and Warrick Dunn. I predict that Lelie will get some where around 900 yards and 9 TD's in that west coast system. He probably wont go over those numbers.

I am a Denver fan and have watch Lelie the past several years. He's a definite long ball threat but he's been very up and down. Not a kind of guy that will get you that 6-10 catches a game, not a ball control type of WR, he's the home run hitter and as such he comes up with nothing (drops easy passes) as often as he gets the big one (great catches on long balls.)

He's not a #1 wide reciever, but they don't have one of those anyway. They traded from a position of strenght (RB) to one of weakness, so I think it is a good move for them. Lelie will make some plays for them and end up as the #1 by default.

I think Denver was lucky to get rid of a slightly above average player, and get a fairly high draft choice for him(+ nearly a million bucks back on his contract). Denver definitely got the best of this deal. I don't know what Atlanta is paying him, but i bet they don't get their money's worth.

If he buys into the system, yes. He has the skills, but it seemed like he just never fit in in Atlanta.

NO Denver was right to get rid of him. He isnt a team player and and couldnt catch a cold if he had to.

He brings experience, where before they had WRs entering their 2nd and 3rd seasons.
They've had experience though, it hasn't helped much in the past either.
