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 it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
