Lafell Locked Up As #2?

Recommended Posts

I think Smitty #1 and Lafell #2(due to Lafell not playing) and I would say that was a signal to DJ, however with one catch for 8 yds. (his avg.) I would expect Jarrrett to be waived. I also think Moore will be kept along with Gettis.

I expect Edwards to be the emergency #3 QB and I think Guy makes it, because of ST play, I know he didn't play....maybe we don't know something?;) Anyway you wouldn't put Jarrett in the game, if he was a lock.:eek:

WR #1 - Smith - Moore - Edwards

WR #2 - Lafell - Gettis - Guy

(Lafell did play and was targeted once) DJ ran a third and ten in route, 2 yds short, which pretty much sums up his carrer!

LaFell did not drop one ball last night.The guy barely played how did he lock up a position?

...i think the OP is saying the less a guy played last night the more secure his spot is...except armanti...that was a little "leak" to the giants...

Lafell, Gettis and Edwards all also do something very important as receivers on this team that Jarrett never seems to do: they look to make contact and block in the running game. They might not get tangled up each time, but I did notice that Gettis and Edwards were out there trying to help when they could.

I actually would agree with the OP... just because he was only targeted once and didn't catch it doesn't mean he hasn't secured that #2 spot. The actual reason for him only being targeted once is because he wasn't in the game long enough to catch more passes. Which would lead me to believe that Fox pulled him early because he plans on having him line up opposite Steve Smith in week 1. I actually think Lafell will do ok once Smith gets back in the line up. He'll have more time to get open since most of the coverage will float towards Smith and he'll have a lot of one on one situations. He does need to work on his hand-eye coordination though.

Steve Smith, Brandon Lafell, Dwayne Jarrett, David Gettis, Charly Martin

and either Trent Guy or Kenny Moore will be #6 should they choose to have 6. But at this point, I just don't see it.

    • I get what you are saying. I'm just saying we made it to the win, we should have a bit of class and not dogpile on the QB because his stat line wasn't great. His stat lines weren't great for almost his entire pro career, but this time, we got a win. Give him a breather.  The team cleared the bar. In the end, that's all that matters. Do it enough times and well, good things happen.  We've shat the bed enough times with good-ish QB play. It's not like we've been regularly to the playoffs even with our best performing QBs over the years. Heck, Matt Stafford was a helluva QB in Detroit for a long time with nothing to show for it. Steve Bartowski was a great QB back in the day, but in 20 years of watching I saw one playoff game for the Falcons. Heck, even Dan Marino spent most of his illustrious career on a lousy Dolphins team.  And yet, Tampa's first Superbowl ring was with the esteemed Trent Dilfer at the helm. Sometimes it goes like that. 
    • I don't care what they tell me. Its what they actually do that matters. Coaches and GM's say crap all the time to keep fan interest. They are always trying to sell you something. 
    • But you have to separate the 2 things in order to move forward.  Its okay to enjoy winning and its also okay to be critical of what is happening.  Coaches do it why cant we?   Also they have to be thinking next off season, next year all in real time.  They are applying what is working, where help is needed and how to get better and make plans for that.   I am weirdly confident that Dan and Dave are seeing what we are seeing and will adjust.   The wildcard however are the teppers
