Austin Pettis

I can see DG bringing in a guy like Austin Pettis this offseason.

I said this before he was waived and was going to be a free agent at the end of the season. I could see it, he's been a reliable target for most of his career. Nothing flashy just like the others we have now minus Benji

Pettis was waived by the Rams yesterday...  I would love to put in a waiver claim on him or sign him if he passes through waivers.  I had the chance to watch him quite a bit while at Boise State during their successful run recently and hoped we would be able to snag him in the draft.  He is a great combo of size and athleticism - 6'3" 205 lbs. and really good measurables.  Furthermore, he has experience at both return spots as well.

 

He was the Rams 2011 third-round draft choice and he contributed in every facet he possibly could on offense and ST, but he was apparently late for a team meeting on Saturday and so Fisher canned him...

Anyone else interested?  With Philly's injury and our lack of speed/athleticism at WR right now, combined with his ability to contribute as a STer, I think this could be a claim/signing that could pay dividends immediately.

 

Now, discuss, or flame away, but I feel this is a legitimate player worth looking into.

    • Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.
    • Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
