yea, I dont have the all 22, I really would be interested because I seem to remember seeing A LOT more of Tremayne in the 2nd half, but like most of us I was just watching the game as a fan.

So first of all, we know that he continues to make mistake after mistake EVERY single week. Him lining up offside was somehow even mor embarrassing than I thought considering he "checked" with the official...yet literally NEVER looked at the official to find out if he was lined up correctly. fuging insane to me. That said, later in the game, I noticed on 4th down, when we HAD to have a first down to keep the game alive down 20-10 with like 3:30 to go...XL was suspiciously NOT on the field. Thats our "Number 2 receiver" not on the field for a HAVE TO HAVE IT down. If I remember, the personnel was Tmac, Jimmy Horn, Tremayne, and Mitchell evans or Tremble. I noticed live during the game because they showed a shot of Canales and XL was behind him, helmet off. I dont have access to the all 22 but if someone could, I would love to know how much he saw the field in the second half. I know he had the 1 catch for 3 yards on the TD drive. Also dug into the numbers, first of all its obvious that Jalen Coker is now our #2 receiver, not just by play, but play percentage too as I looked through snap counts but I'm just lookin at XL in this post. Heres a plot of his snap count % since he returned from injury. Obviously hes trending down, but I do think that the lackadaisical play and just absolute dumbass mistakes, I think its possible that Coach Canales has had enough. He wont say it in the media (No coach ever will) but I think actions speak louder and Im hopeful that he finally straight up benches him this weekend and runs with players that wont continually put us in a bad position.

Currently, prlly Saints, defense is legit and a rookie QB who is figuring it out. Atlanta is good but because of one or 2 stars, Bijan is a monster. Most potential is Tampa, weapons everywhere but injuries on defense and a lame duck coach. Panthers are the most consistent even if we're also the most inconsistent...but we know every other week we're good. Most hilarious scenario to me would be panthers lose, Tampa celebrates and Bowles keeps his job because of that, but then atlanta wins and Raheem Morris keeps his job. Panthers make it to the playoffs like like a make a wish kid matching our QB. The end and everyone is miserable after the season

If we win the division with an 8-9 record Im gonna fuging lose my poo lolololol

there are plays when Canales just ran dumbass routes and there are plays when XL was a practice cone opposite a sick #1 or recievers just dropped passes, but Bryce was undeniably awful too, like UNTRUSTABLY bad.

agreed, but when your pass rusher is a legit detriment to the run game it limits your defense. Burns has 16 1/2 sacks, gimme someone with 11 sacks but wont get bowled over by a RB slightly bigger than Bryce and I'll say i'll take it.

Agreed, run the ball and sadly only hope for Bryce to make like 4-5 big throws, everything else meh. IMO, Game is too important to let XL keep "figuring it out", bench him, run Tmac, Coker, and Tremayne or Horn if you want a speed option. XL is absolute aids and forget a 5th year option, I think if the front office has a brain, he might not finish his rookie contract.

No, Horn still has a higher ceiling, Burns still cant stop the run. Horn can be a good CB and not sacrifice run support. Basically IMO Burns was a better version of Mario Addison.

1 billion percent. Bryce got benched for better performances than what XL is doing. Remember, same guy who after being out from injury when asked what he learned from watching the game as opposed to playing said "Nothing really"...clueless

Im legit curious if they soft benched him yesterday because on the 4th down to save the game in the 4th, he wasnt even on the field. I only noticed because they cut to Canales and XL was standing behind him with his helmet off. That seemed to be like an intentional move by the coach and maybe they finally move on from this dipshit.

Dude...stop. I agree that XL needs to be benched, legit is not an NFL calibur wide receiver but Jimmy Horn is a rookie 6th round pick. He has shown flashes and he will get his shot, but hes still a rookie 6th round pick. Hell, Steve smith as a rookie in 2001 had 20 total targets, late round guys dont get huge traction. Also, Horn is more likely to cut his teeth as a gadget/slot, but because the staff cannot accept that XL is ia bust, they wont put Coker outside and horn in the slot, or even tremayne outside and JC at slot.

I doubt they would do it....dont throw spitballs at me...but I wonder if we'd kick the Deshaun Watson tires. If Canales is the QB wisperer he was billed as and Watson can somehow rehab any semblance of a career he'd make a good option. BTW I understand everything but if our front office digs into all the allegations and finds him atleast reclaimable, his physical talent is undeniable...when healthy and not distracted. He's a clemson guy so could be a "come home" thing where he'd have more in grown local support than any other franchise by a mile. I dont think he will be, but I could see him being a Michael Vick type situation.

PFFFF soooo whaaatt! Atlanta gonna beat the Rams this week then the saints next and we get to make it in make a wish kid style...ya know basically like who our QB is.

Xl on the sideline on 4th down. Appears he's finally been benched

I just noticed on that 4th down, xl was on the sideline. I think they might have finally benched him
