  • This dude is catching 44 percent of his targets  (Lower than any of Ginns percentages while here while Torrey not even remotely a deep threat than Ginn was)
  • Went CATCHLESS the last game despite playing 65% of snaps
  • Constantly on the field despite drops, mishaps, and averaging less than 20 yards receiving PER GAME
  • DJ Moore constantly turns the vast majority of his targets into a gold mine of broken tackles and YAC while catching 75% of targets
  • In one game coming off heart surgery Samuel managed to get over half Torrey's yards and equal his TD total for the season in very limited snaps

What in the world is the excuse? There's nothing but evidence everywhere this dude is not contributing and stifling better talent

At least Funchess is solid and has a defined role as big guy chain mover. DJ and Samuel are the perfect YAC monster compliments to Funchess and Torrey is holding us the hell back

As bad as it sounds 

 

Its honestly going to take an injury.

 

Forcing Rivera's hand is the only way your ever going to get the top players on the field.  Thats just how it has been under Rivera's time here.  Just too much loyalty for his vets

Lets not forget his blocking, it is horrid

The dude has been Nothing more than Russell Shepard last year.  The big argument last year was whatbit was going to take to put in Byrd over Shepard, consindering how good he looked in camp and preseaso .  It took a injury to Shepard for them to play Byrd at the end of last year.  When he got in, he flashed prior to getting injured

But he’s an amazing coach because we’re 3-1, and no one should dare mention he may not be the best HC or a good fit to lead the talent we have, right?  Did I nail the talking points?  By the way - not arguing your post, just tagging on my own sarcastic vitriol.

This. None of us want to wish injury on any of our guys, but historically it's been pretty much the only thing that has made Rivera move on from an ineffective vet.

Itll take 3 series ruined by him back to back to back. 

 

Your typical catch and fumble for the first drive, then a wide open missed catch that pops up and is intercepted the second drive, then a 60 yard bomb for a should be TD but he trips over himself at the 2 yard line and fumbles. 

 

Then...and only then..will he be benched outside of injury.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
