So then just do it. Players don't need to be taking pot shots at a fan base, even if 65% of them deserve to be called out on their bs. 

They are retooling. Can’t do it all in one year and injuries happen.  Not every draft choice or free agent will succeed and not every hole can be filled immediately.  But there is some progress.

Now if only Carson can get over his case of the yips. 

JR hit the nail on the head.  Use this year to give the youngsters some playing time.

Damn! He really did pull a vag...

I'm (pretty much) feeling the same way, at this point.  Get those younger guys going and see what happens.

He looks solid out there.  An extra 10-15 lbs wouldn't hurt but he doesn't look that "undersized" for a TE.

IR him.  He has had a lower body issue since camp.   Make Jeffery play to get some value out of that atrocious cap hit.  

NFLPA President was saying how he thinks every NFL stadium should have grass instead of artificial turf.  Data shows injuries occur more on turf, especially lower body injuries.

Couldnt agree more.  Every stadium should have same playing field.

How does he propose grass in an indoor stadium? Grow lamps??

So he got injured while standing on the sideline?

He’s a twig for a TE. If he can gain 15-20 pounds and run a 4.6, we might have something.

Apparently Arizona and Vegas have grass and they're indoor stadiums.

Raiders are indoor and play with grass. 

But probably not feasible for all indoor stadiums.

I would hope he wouldn't lose that much speed.  And I'd imagine they would use him similarly to the way they use Ertz, which is primarily as a receiver vs blocker.

If he doesn't start to turn it around this week, they really need to have him medically evaluated (if they haven't done so already).  There's no way he can have a 4 game stretch looking the way he has without something hampering him, imo.  I wouldn't doubt it's his back (maybe his groin).

I did not know that, how the hell do they roll that crap in and out? They have to have the space to store it outside apparently. That must add a few million more yikes!

McNabb was benched at halftime the week after tying the Bengals. It should happen again.

I'm just about over these rest days. 

And no Driscoll is weird. Which means they have who lined up at RT? Pryor? So 4 out of 5 possible guys not even taking first team reps together where they will play on Sunday. 

 

Nice replacement for Reagors speed

Arizona's stadium allows for the field to be rolled outside so it can grow.

I'm not sure about Vegas though and how that works

Same. It's a giant tray that rolls in and out

Vegas and Arizona have fields that move in and out of the stadium on a track.
