Curtis Samuel needs to show out against the Falcons

[Jeremy Igo]

Curtis Samuel needs to build on his good performance last week. 

 

Bonnafon is out. Samuel can kill them in the slot and at RB. He needs to prove his worth right now.

CMC can replace him in the slot and Davis can be the RB

Their top 3 safeties are hurt (1 on IR) and their top 2 CBs are hurt as well (didn't play week 4).

If Curtis and Ian don't flash vs ATL, I just can't see them doing it ever on a consistent basis.

This is a game the Ron Rivera Panthers would have gotten their weeners kicked in. Falcons struggling and have a ton of injuries, but Ron’s Panthers would show up unprepared and unmotivated for everything the Falcons did and manage to lose.

If Rhule has exorcised those demons and the Panthers finally do the weener kicking themselves, it’s all aboard the Rhule train for me!

At this point he needs to show out for himself more than even the team. If he fails to dazzle this season, he probably won't be resigned by this team and probably wont get big money on the open market. Although, Funchess has been signed twice now on decent 1 year deals, never mind hope he balls out for this team this week and every week until the end of the season. Go get this W and put a nail in the Falcons season.

In the slot? Hell yes. As a RB? Would rather see someone else try at this point. Maybe Armah or some PS body.

[Jaxel]

Sure, but being wide receiver 3 with 3 solid options in front of him (anderson, moore, davis) I think he's shown up and made some plays when he's had the chance.

Samuel is already proven, stop the bs, led our team in red zone TDs with Kyle Allen, you guys aren't used to having a legit SET of weapons. Moore, Anderson, and when CMC returns are ahead of him in the pecking order. 

Samuel is established, we just have this thing called OPTIONS now. The ball is spread around in this offense, DJ, Robby, Curtis, Bonnafon, Thomas, Davis, all had receptions in the offense.

Is it just me or does he simply not look particularly explosive?

[Moo Daeng]

He might just always be a good 3rd WR that can do some great things. I don't see him ever breaking out but I hope I'm wrong.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

he's not gonna 'break out' whatever at this point. he is who he is.

If you've got two really good WRs ahead of him (and we do), then having a solid, steady WR3 who can play the slot and even run the ball now and then is pretty much how any head coach would love to see his roster roll out.

Curtis is good, we're doing find with him right now. He has been improving week to week this season, perhaps he is getting the coaching he needs. Let's watch and see how he does. We could be very pleasantly surprised.

DJ is great, but sure would like to see more out of him. He seems to be having trouble breaking free of coverage.

he's just been overshadowed by the lightning rod that is robby anderson

[imminent rogaine]

This is a DJ moore game.
