Sounds like Charles Johnson will be the corresponding move. Coming off suspension.

 

Trai Turner is moving through the concussion protocol and Rivera expects him to practice tomorrow.

 

RR: Trai Turner is “moving along” in the protocol. Could see him practicing tomorrow.

 

Rivera says Shepard will be back this week.

How did Byrd stay buried on our roster this long anyway?

I thought Gettleman and Rivera were executive and coach of the year?

They let Ginn walk out the door and kept Byrd buried behind a bum we signed off the bottom of the Buccaneers roster. Just unforgivable.

Devin Funchess

Brenton Bersin

Kaelin Clay

Russell Shepard

Woof. Injuries and trades certainly played a part in this unit but that right there is why every playoff game will be an uphill battle. Teams will sell-out to stop the run, put their best corner on Funchess, and one of three WR’s who wouldn’t be on many other rosters in the NFL are going to have to play out their minds and step up. Need to address this position in free agency in a big way this off-season. That is ugly.

RR on ATL game: “We’re playing this game to win.”

 

Rivera says that they plan to play starters the entire game on Sunday in Atlanta, no matter what happens in New Orleans/Tampa Bay game.

 

Rivera says he won't pay attention to Saints' score in Week 17. "I want to win the football game (against Atlanta) and keep as much momentum going into the playoffs."

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
