That's what I meant, not sure what I was typing there.  Needs to learn how to be a complete WR. 

Yup, I wasn't a big fan of him out of college then the reports out of camp came out that he was flashing and making plays and I thought al right maybe we got something here.

Then his debut against WFT was disastrous.

He dropped a pass over the middle when he heard footsteps.

He had another target lead to an INT where he didn't come back to the ball 

And most erroneous of all he caught a short  screen and as soon as he saw contact took a Demarco Murray dive and curled up in the fetal position for a loss👎

I think he's got good deep speed and showed he could get open and showed he could get deep and dude never figured out what to do once he got open or even what to do when he actually caught it.

I can't imagine he makes the roster, would be nice to be able to stash him in the PS, like you said he just needs to put it together 

 

Speaking of busts of all busts, was there anyone in PA besides the Phillies dumb office that thought Micky Moniac was the right pick with the #1 pick in all of baseball?

RTK certainly does.  He has Simmons as the MVP favorite for this upcoming season.

Haven't you heard.  Jags have a big hole at Tight End now.....

 

Maybe they could use another washed up, selfish player.  

 

It was tongue in cheek. 

The Jags as well, definitely.

well that would be bad. Apparently the MVP runner up gets a no injury cheat code. Embiid currently has the code. Id like all of our players to have it.

It's gonna be another 5 years of this, isn't it?

Your kidding right ??  Where do I find this comment ??

Just now, 4for4EaglesNest said:

Hey.....he's a Phillie.  So you have to be nice to him and give him a chance.  That's how it is done here.  

Him and Ben are going to figure it out together.  Just give them some time....

That depends on Embiid's health.

Yeah I am being sarcastic.  He values Ben much higher than the ones "who don't watch the Sixers".

His first hang nail and you will say I told you so.

Say what you want about Reagor.. the dude showed he was a complete WR in college. I don’t care if it’s just 1v1s.. these types of plays might give him some confidence he needs to go out and make those plays on Sundays. The dude has skills. He just needs to get out of his own head. Love seeing Watkins show out too.

How many TCU games did you watch while he was there ??

I'm as big of a Reagor fanboy as anyone around here but that's a stretch. He showed he was an amazing athlete and capable of super impressive catches, returns, and YAC. But a "complete receiver" has a mature and sharp route tree. Reagor didn't really have a chance to show/develop that in TCU with their QB situation and it showed year one in the pros.

I sincerely doubt anyone has watched more TCU games then I have, which is 0

Congrats in advanced.  Have you started your patterned breathing yet?

Kid's already here. Only breathing exercise I'm using now is in an attempt to not call him a MFer when he wakes me up at 3 AM. 

5 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said:

Yeah.  I wouldn't call him a complete WR in college.  

 

 

blindside is probably googling TCU box scores, looking for the games he "watched"

Reagor had 4 100 yard games in his 39 college games, does not sound like a complete WR to me.

I get this point, but I think it further shows the selfishness. He was never signed to actually make the team; it was a dog and pony show. 

You're holding on to this notion too tightly, I think, and it doesn't matter anyway.

Maybe we get lucky for once and Reagor doesn't have to be "the guy".  Obviously, assuming Smith is all that is advertised, if Watkins can be a major contributor on the outside, Reagor can play the slot and be used on gadget plays the majority of the time.  If he can gain confidence, he should be an above average punter return too.  The three of them together might just work and be sufficient.  The speed is unquestionable.  Keep your finger crossed.

Yep, sounds like a reach to me.  

Meanwhile, JJ had 8 100 yard games his last year, including 3 straight to finish, including a 200 yard game.

Ben Simmons still sucks.
