well, if anything says "fire under the butt" it's Marty Hurney

[GoobyPls]

I hope Samuel takes Funchess spot.

 

I think Garrett will beat out the rest.

Shepard's career thus far hasn't been all that impressive. I have a hard time believing that impressing in the OTAs makes him a lock. Dude had an opportunity to take the WR2/3 spot in Tampa and lost out to Adam Humphries, so I ain't drinking that Kool-Aid at this point. Granted, he may change my mind with a good preseason because I do like lemonade.

I'm not so sure. He looked better than any non vets. Of course, Samuel was inured most of the time.

Austin Duke and Fred Ross to Practice Squad.

Y'all say what you want, but I was (am) very skeptical of the Rivera-Gettleman-Proehl era of wide receivers. I am really really hoping that a changing of two of the three will ultimately lead to a change of perspective about how they go about prioritizing who needs to stay and go---specifically, giving vets reps and spots simply because they are vets (a.k.a the safe, conservative, choice). Rivera kills me with that poo. "Competition" should be more than some trite catchphrase. I hope that Hurney and Taylor can help the evolution of minds as it pertains to the process.

He needs a fire, but to say he hasn't shown he deserves to be a lock is pretty false. He just needs more opportunities, something he lacked last year.

Oh except for his rookie year when KB was out. I thought he was pretty awesome that year

He's done less with the opportunities that he's been given than literally just about any other WR in the NFL.

Yeah, he began to show real promise later on in the season, then had an outstanding camp by all accounts, then when the regular season began last year, it's like Rivera and/or Shula put the brakes on him in favor of Philly and Ginn (who a lot of weeks looked like they were just going through the motions to me).

He's had a couple of good games in two full seasons.

Why is it that Rivera and Gettleman can see that Funchess wasn't given enough opportunities, but you keep pushing your own shaky narrative about him? You don't know more than they do.

Rooting for Charles Johnson and Austin Duke.

Same here. I believe, for sure, Austin Duke makes the 90. I'm looking at KB, Funch, Samuel, Shepard, Johnson, Duke (6).

It's past time for Bersin to waste a roster spot elsewhere. He's simply not a playmaker. He's a possessing WR and we have plenty of those in the roster already (KB and Funch).
