Kelvin Benjamin: We need you bud

Kelvin had a very rough game but fortunately the rest of the team was lights out.

 

The playoffs will be a different story. We need big time plays in big time situations. The rook fell flat on his face this game but i'm looking for this dude to make these kinds of plays in prime time.

we need to get him involved early and get his confidence back up. Playoff games are tough and to win them you need players to make big time catches and plays in big time moments. Those drops will be unacceptable and could potentially lose us the game.  Hopefully Cam is in his ear this week of practice. I believe in the guy.

i don't care about his drop rate right now. I care about him making plays that win us games. He is a big time talent. Gotta make big time plays when it matters most.

Ya obviously, I am just making a point that he is still a rookie and will make stupid mistakes just like any other receiver.

yea, this was more of a playoff type thread instead of the other ones about him. We need the rook to step up and make some huge plays for us if we want to win. Playoffs are just such a different animal.

Agreed. You can't win a superbowl in this league if you don't jump all over every opportunity you get.

 

We just need to realize he still is a rookie who was drafted late in round 1 who was known to drop these kinds of passes. I hope he works on this but I don't think things will change until he can refine his game more over the offseason.

 

One can only hope that he brings his game to another level in the playoffs.

I really hope he's not Lafell 2.0. Makes ridiculous catches he has no business hauling in and then drops the routine ones.

 

 

Well, for one Lafell has never sniffed a 1,000 yard season and Benjamin has over 1k after just his rookie year.

 

 

Lafell and Benjamin shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.

Gotta figure out a way to get him past the mental hurdles that are causing these drops. He's still very green even for a rookie and has a ton of potential. I'm very confident that he's going to be a very, very good WR for us, but the drops do need to get fixed.

 

 

You have to think it's just a lack of focus.

 

 

I imagine Proehl will drill into him that he needs to focus on the easy catches as much as the seemingly impossible.

In fairness, LaFell never played on a Steve Smithless team and was targeted 145 times.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
