dont see why he couldnt. I thought he was a good draft pick. Dont see why he couldnt make his way in.

I think if LeFell/Jarrett dose not have a break out game its going to be WR by committee approach. None of our WRs have show dominance in the past two games.

^^^ I hope not, no defense fears a committee of WRs.

This is sad but true. I dont see how we can make Jarrett or LeFell our starter though with the progress they have shown. Both have looked avg when playing with the 2s. Hell I dont know why they dont just throw Gettis in the starting line up a few times. He has not done any worse then above mentioned.

Most interesting quote to me:

Asked if he was confident that his second receiver was here, and not requiring a late-preseason addition, Tolbert nodded.

“Very confident. Very confident,” Tolbert said. “And whether it’s one guy or three guys, I have confidence in all of those guys to be able to take coaching and when their time is called go in there and produce.

Yep yep that was the very same quote I was going to list. I dont know about you guys, but that may indicate that Lafell is farther along than we think. I know am reading into that too much, but it just seems to point to Lafell. People on here have been talking him down recently since he hasnt made any big plays yet, but he looks good in a lot of areas.

I may not have confidence in him at the moment, but if he keeps coming in early and staying late to catch balls I think he will earn everyone's trust on the QUICK.

yuck terribly worded post but you get the idea I guess

I liked Lafelle until I added him on twitter and after reading his post the kid sounds like he doesn't have a brain in his body, tru dat.

Lafell needs to step up this game.
