Devin Funchess and Greg Olsen both say they’re talking Thursday. Likely letting the Kelvin Benjamin news cool off a bit.

 

Curtis Samuel: “They are depending on me more. I have to do the right things and prepare myself mentally.”

Sweet Jesus, I'll be pissed if Bersin actually plays. He shouldn't even be on the field tbh, barring some sort of significant injury to Shep, Funch, or Samuel. His ass needs to just take a seat. Besides we don't run a lot of 4 WR sets anyways. 

probably just keeping the seat warm until byrd is back. Dont really expect him to be active this week or going forward barring injury. the worst part was that someone said on here... I think Igo, that players who reach an injury settlement cant play for the team again, but I guess that was BS.

That was probably me and it turns out you can sign a player you have an injury settlement but it has to be at least 6 weeks from the date of the settlement. I had thought they had to join another team first before that was allowed.

Man, I hope Armah plays Sunday and we actually line up I-formation with a fullback instead of this derpy Stewart/Dickson lead-blocker BS. 

This: Have the O-Line put a helmet on a helmet, put Armah in to lead block, and keep rushing whomever has fresh tires back there over and over until we manage to finally get it right. I don't even care who does it or how, so long as we have a 100-yard game from anyone not named Newton at least once this year! Either impose your will on the defense, or accept that your offense deserves the mocking they get from third-grader powder puff players, okay Shula?

I'm really curious as to what's wrong with Kalil neck.

Don't know why Kalil keeps trotting out there, might as well hang it up.  Seems any hard physical contact with his neck (ya know, like a Dlineman's hands) and he's out of the game again.    

Neck injuries are best rested well and there not doing that. They should have IRed him to begin with.

someone needs to give this speech to the oline and Shula before the game . God I wish we had coaches that took accountability and in turn make the players acknowledge their faults and push them to be better. I'm thinking alot of the reason we're staying mired in a rut is because the players don't have that and are just at times, appear to be going through the motions.

Here's the thing about Bersin that bothers me. We're told that he totally understands the offense, runs good routes, and has good hands. The team refuses to totally cut bait with him despite cutting him several times.

Yet, when he is on the roster he hardly sees the field. I've always wondered if he could possibly end up being a decent receiver if he had more opportunity to play.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
