Still shocked at how little snaps Samuel is getting. He is one of our best route runners and has the speed and toughness after the catch. I can only assume the coaching staff is easing him back in slowly because of his condition. 

I'm hoping this is the game his snap totals really increase. This is his 4th game back, so he should be in as good of shape as he's going to be.

I think some of that was just coachspeak anyways. Samuel's conditioning has never looked to be an issue.

I can understand being cautious with anyone undergoing a heart procedure, even a "minor" one, but it's time to take the training wheels off and give him at least 30 snaps.

Him and Moore both have YAC ability we haven't seen since Smitty. It's time to unleash it.

As hard as I have been on Smith, I hate to see him get hurt when he was just starting to get it going. I hope the youngsters step up to make plays and hold onto the ball!

What did Smith hurt and when?  He wasn't hurt on the 4th down play was he?

much bigger loss than anyone thinks

This. He was a near total non-factor earlier in the year but he's showed up big time down the stretch in the past two games.

So who w be number two wr 

Our real #2 WR Curtis Samuel. Rivera just has to wake up to that fact.

Were so set in stone on who's the actual individual playing from whatever package. So this will be interesting.

To fill T Smiths role I believe Byrd is best for those speed routes. We should continue to do special and different things to get the ball in Samuels hand and get DJ Moore in the middle of the field. Some players just have that natural reaction to immediately stomp on the fuging gas and go straight upfield churning up yards. Thats DJ Moore. You hit him in the middle of a curl for 7 yards he's taking it for 10 more.
 

Hopefully we can make smart choices on the roles of these 3 young WRs this week I think it can really make splash plays and win us the game. Deep bomb to Byrd burning a CB for 79 yards. DJ making YAC on several catches over the middle. Samuel taking a couple of chunk plays through screens or fake reversals and play action. Hope Funchess can bully and catch some 3rd downs and jump balls.

I know Greg will have some crucial catches. This will be a really competitive game and a chess match.

Which I agree, and think it's ridiculous. Samuel and Moore are YAC guys who have huge play making potential

Why is it that up until this point you've been on a milk carton the last week with this anti-Newton shtick that you were chirping so loudly about after the Redskins game? Hmm, I wonder. We win, you go missing. Typical.

How is my post Cam related and why does it bother you? I haven't gone anywhere. Trust me, I do my best to stay on topic with whatever thread I post in, unlike you. I'll never sit and dwell on the past, and I don't care if you agree with me or disagree with me. If you don't like it, block me or shut the fug up
