Legette “I can’t say I sat back and learned anything”

It's disappointing that he at least didn't have the awareness to lie. Even if what he says is true surely he has to understand it comes across terribly. He's been performing terribly so at least say that missing a couple weeks with a sore hammy has given me the chance to really dive into the playbook again and get more comfortable with my understanding of the overall offensive scheme. Anything sounds better than basically saying these last couple weeks have been an utter waste.

The question was disrespectful and probably caught him off guard

How was it disrespectful and how was he caught off guard? He's a struggling young player who has missed a couple of weeks due to injury or "injury". Other than "how is the hamstring feeling?" what else are they supposed to ask him? If he didn't expect to be asked that sort of question then that's a failure of our PR team and probably his agent as well. They absolutely should've given him a heads up that it's almost certainly coming.

I was already out on him after last year.  You can't be a #1 WR without good hands, and if you are entering the NFL with bad hands, ain't much is gonna change that.

But this speaks VOLUMES about where he is mentally.  We would be smart to go ahead and move on in the offseason.

[DeAngelo Beason]

He wants out.  The QB is absolutely atrocious and he's becoming his scapegoat.  I didn't see Bryce throw one good ball to Legette in the first couple games.

The people talking about how good XL will look in some other offense or with some other QB, just remember this is the same horseshit we have heard for Mingo, TMJ, Funchess, Colbert, etc, etc, etc.

 

Just realize you are gonna seem just as foolish as all these other times when this guy is a resounding bust.

Ok, I’m beginning to not like this jackass. How about some stock answer about taking the time off to study defensive formations and ask questions and study film? Oh and how much you missed playing the game alongside your brothers. Maybe he really is just stupid.

I kind of get the feeling all this publicity he got this offseason has made him feel like hes fine with or without football.

lol. The latter is true but have you seen him try to actually catch a ball or make a split second decision? He has zero awareness 

This took way too long for my joke….Good at eating raccoon.

That's not a very high bar

yeah,  it'll literally only take one positive yard for him to be "better." lol

Surely there's some team out there that will give us a 6th rounder for him.

His 5th year option alone is worth that.

Joe Burrow was playing bad before he got hurt, you think anyone's going to ask him if he learned anything while he was injured? It's disrespectful because he wasn't benched for performance reasons, but the question is insinuating that he was.  It's kinda obvious

Stop. You're comparing a proven high level pro to a second year player who had a subpar rookie season and was practically nonexistent this year before going out. You're massively reaching to create a narrative here. It was a fair question given the situation.

Still my point is valid, he wasn't benched he was hurt.  He had very little play in the preseason, which is on him and Canales, he was sluggish and bad his first game and played faster the second game but every throw to him was ass.  Let's see him with a somewhat competent QB who can at least deliver the ball on time.  Every catch with this team has to be a circus catch because Bryce's accuracy is poo.

If that question offended Legette, then he's not mentally cut out for professional sports.
