XL was questionable with a hammy and limited all week in practice. Sounds like it was giving him enough issues to keep him out.

Week off might be good for him to get a fire lit under him as he recovers. Jimmy Horn Jr being inactive is... a choice. Game plan looks to be run the ball all day.

David Moore filling in for XL. Brycen Tremayne to get more reps.

ALL ABOARD THE TREMAYNE TRAIN

Hunter Renfrow game!  Clearly Hunter Renfrow has pleaded to the football gods for all the Clemson football juju to be sucked from Clemson and enter his body for the year!  It’s science!  19 receptions today for 20 yards but 15 TDs.

I'm starting to thin Horn Jr is going to be one of those mini camp wonders who never is anything meaningful, and I really liked what I saw/heard about him from early camp reports too.

But if he can't even get a jersey the week we're down one of our other WRs, then I'm not sure there's much hope for him on the horizon

You can only really play him in the slot.  Hard to  activate Hunter and Horn when a big body is already down.

Or you could look at it as the only outside speedster option is down, and dressing Horn would allow us to still have someone running some go-routes on the outside to try and keep some safety help deep instead of shading over to T-Mac's side of the field on every snap.

Even if there is a 0% interest in actually throwing the deep ball to Horn Jr on those plays, at least it would just be useful for keeping the defense honest.

I don't think it's all our WR's that are limiting those options downfield.....

Can't wait to see Horn beat the corner by 10 yards and Bryce throw it 5 yards short allowing the corner to catch up and break it up

Oh I get it, but even with Bryce's noodle arm, if you have a burner on the outside who is beating his man down the field with zero safety help, even Bryce can heave it 55-60 yards to him if he gets the time in the pocket, so you still need to keep a safety with an eye on those routes when he's on the field.

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you honestly believe this is a team that will even be in contention for a playoff spot this year? To me, if you're not at minimum a genuine playoff caliber team, every win you get is a meaningless win in the end.  This is the NFL, it's not peewee league where you just want to win a few games and have fun, you want to get into the playoffs and have a shot at making a SB run. We haven't had a winning season in how many years?   Does "enjoying" a small handful of wins every year really make for an enjoyable season for you? I said it months ago and I'll say it forever, I don't care about winning or losing this year, as we don't have a playoff caliber roster yet and I'm a realist about where we are as a franchise.  I'd enjoy watching the games so much more if the team and Bryce in particular were just showing marked improvement, even if it came in losses.   Because THAT would give me hope for the future of the franchise and the direction we're going. Bryce was complete garbage in Week 1, in Week 2 he was terrible until the Cardinals went into super soft prevent defense and then collapsed gain when the game was in reach, and he was a serviceable game manager today, but didn't make any throws that any college QB couldn't make. This game was a perfect chance to let Bryce go out there and play loose because of the lead, just let him be himself and see if it sparks his college self.  But instead, we went unbelievably conservative with the play calling to help ensure the win, when actual wins and losses are the least of our worries this year, it's figuring out what Bryce can be (fans may be decided, but the team obviously has not yet).

      I’m pretty sure Baker requested to be released.

      Pretty fair assessment overall. I can’t say a lot since I didn’t watch but going by the comments I am betting he (Canales) was very conservative and a large reason would be to prevent Bryce giving it away half the day.
