He’s made several roster changes. Gone is former pro-bowl wide receiver Marty Booker, in is veteran Ernest Wilford. Parcells even jumped out of the starting gate of this year’s NFL Draft by signing T Jake Long out of Michigan as the number one overall pick days before the draft even started. Parcells knows what he wants and knows what he needs to turn this franchise around.

He finished with 2,583 yards and 21 TDs. With Marty Booker already clamoring for the #1 spot (rightly so), Turner’s depth chart will surely resemble this come September:
1) Booker: No one else is certainly gonna take this spot, not unless Lloyd shows some amazing stuff in training camp and Turner feels confident enough to put him here. Still, Lloyd will need to improve his blocking on the outside and prove to the team that he’s not afraid of laying out for the ball, something he’s been accused of in the past. Booker essentially gets this out of default (“The two sweetest words in the English language!”), playing the role of Muhammad but for much cheaper and with less animosity towards the QBs. A veteran who will certainly be at his most effective if the rest of the group plays well and opens the field up for him.

ome life into the offense by bring back the club’s last 1,000 yard receiver, the wily veteran Marty Booker. Booker has been a virtual non-factor the last few years in the league, stuck catching balls thrown from the latest projects to emerge from the Miami Dolphins’ QB University (an institute of uninspired complacency with lots of bright graduates – Cleo Lemon, John Beck, what was left of Daunte Culpepper and Trent Green, and the older, more brusque McCown brother). I’m sure the main reason Angelo brought Booker back was because, naturally, he let perhaps the last intriguing free agent WR walk off to another team earlier today. With Javon Walker off the market, our trusty GM dusted off the old depth charts to see exactly who could be brought in to salvage the O.
