Hes TDs future replacement, not enough room for Luke, TD, and shaq. Even with Luke out he's only getting around 50% of the snaps. First game he only got around 20% of the snaps. He looks good when hes playing and does lay the wood. Plus I've seen him on STs too.

 

Not going to judge this years draft class til 2016 off season, had huge issues with it and still do.

I think its less about that and more about Luke being out.  Shaq, Luke,  and Davis is what I think they want but people keep getting hurt.

Its nice to hear some praise early on. I remember Luke's rookie season him struggling a bit in his first few games. I got trashed at the Corner Pub when we lost to Tampa that year. The gf and I had something like 12 car-bombs between us that day. I miss living in Uptown Charlotte and being able to walk home after having a few too many.

Sitting at the Pub and watching pissed of Texans & Saints fans sit in traffic was the best.

yea Luke getting hurt does change the plan. My problem was on passing downs or offensive personal who would you rather have on the field bene or shaq?? I know what my answer is.

 

We'll see once they are all heathly, I have the feeling it will be the same as the 20% first game. But hey he plays STs too, just what you want in your 1st rounder!1!!!11 far too early for judgement tho, but starting 2016 OTAs/mini/TC I will be.

If you nnoticed in the No game Davis had problems keeping up with Nos scat backs.  Once Shaq was put in he dismantled that attack. I did not even realize TD was hurt because I thought it was a adjustment. 

 

Davis is not slow by any means but Luke and Shaq are athletic freaks.  Eventually it will be Shaq Luke and Bean on passing downs.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
