When I watch us play it's easy to see by eye test our offense is at its best when Ginn, Cotch, and Funch are out there. Both Cotchery and Funchess have outperformed Philly statistically as well with many fewer opportunities. When we were down on the road in Seattle Funch and Cotch both made humongous clutch plays to keep our scoring drives alive late in the 4th.  Down in the Super Dome when poo got real late and we had to move the chains, this is the lineup that pulled us through. It seems like every time Funch or Cotch is on the field they make a huge play. So, why does Philly continue to dominate the snap count? Do you think it's possible Ron could be trying to hide Funch so playoff teams don't have much tape on him? Perhaps a secret weapon to help us reach our peak offensively at the perfect time? I don't know about you, but come playoff time I want our offense to be in its most dangerous state at all times. Not just during crunch time.

Funchess' route running has been a thing of beauty.  That slant last week was stellar.  Also the comeback route a week or two earlier.  But he's looking crisp.  He's also catching the ball and is using his body more.  He most definitely has earned it in my opinion.

It could be just vet loyalty, as Ron has shown before unfortunately.   Even though he's not THAT much of a vet, that may still be the case.   When Philly is out there, I hardly see him being involved, but when Funchess/Cotchery come in, they are involved, so I'm not sure what is going on.

Ditto someone about Ealy.  CJ/Allen are not getting it done.   CJ, even though "rusty", is not making a good case for us keeping him around.

I'm not sure the coaching staff here is doing anything wrong or playing the wrong guys at the wrong time. If you look at the results, I'd say we're doing pretty well.

The receiver rotation is looking great to me, right now. This was supposed to be a group of nobodies that wouldn't be able buy a receiving touchdown on the black market if you listened to what they said up until week 8. These "nobodies" sure are winning more games than the Megatrons, Julios, Dezzes and Beckhams. 

Maybe our problem is that we don't have a problem. :)

While I agree our best combo would be ginn, funchess, and cotchery I think its just boils down to situational football.  I believe that ginn and brown could alternate more and let funchess work, but at the same time its really is risky to rely on a rookie in the playoffs even if the rookie has looked promising.  They all have their quirks, but lets not forget funchess leads the league in drops, and ginn is in the top 5 too.  Brown gets open and makes the catch when their is one to be made so I wouldnt rule him out completely.

Isn't Philly in more to provide some options for the running game - end arounds, etc?

Seems to me we've used him very successfully in that role in several games last year & this year.  Perhaps having him in a lot of snaps makes it hard for our opponents to know when we're going to use him for a special play?  I'm totally just speculating here.  Not a football expert...

True, we have used him to pick up first downs on the ground here and there. I haven't watched him too closely so I'm having a hard time understanding how he's played virtually the same amount as Ginn, but he's only been targeted 32 times versus Teddy's 75 times. First thing that comes to mind is he's not getting open. I know Cam missed him on a big gainer opportunity this week, but Cam is usually on the money with his deep ball.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
